England recovered from a four-goal deficit to draw 5-5 with Germany on Tuesday, setting a new record for the highest-scoring game in Under-19 European Championship history.<\/p>\n
In their second game of the tournament, England found themselves 5-1 down in the 48th minute, but four goals in 11 second-half minutes helped the young side earn an unlikely draw.<\/p>\n
The 10-goal haul in Bucharest on Tuesday was one more than the previous tournament record of nine goals in a match, Spain\u2019s 8-1 victory over Cyprus in 2006 . Gerard Pique and Juan Mata both featured for the victors that day.<\/p>\n
Germany looked on course for a comfortable win on Tuesday as goals from Barcelona\u2019s Noah Darvic and Said El Mala established a 2-0 lead just after the half-hour mark.<\/p>\n
Fulham\u2019s Josh King pulled one back in the 35th minute, but Max Moerstedt and Leopold Wurm ensured Germany retired at half-time 4-1 up and in command.<\/p>\n
El Mala made it 5-1 upon the restart, but Manchester United\u2019s Ethan Wheatley pulled one back seven minutes into the second half to England\u2019s remarkable comeback.<\/p>\n
Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny, Nottingham Forest\u2019s Zach Abottt, and Crystal Palace\u2019s Jesse Derry all scored to make it 5-5 in the 63rd minute. Despite six minutes of stoppage time, neither side was able to find a winner, and the game ended in a pulsating 5-5 draw.<\/p>\n
The result leaves Germany, who lost their first game 3-0 to the Netherlands on Saturday, bottom of group B, while England, who were held to a 2-2 draw with Norway on the same day, are in second spot.<\/p>\n
England face group leaders the Netherlands on Friday in their final group game.<\/p>\n
