England U-21s triumphantly celebrate their European Championship victory

England’s Under-21 team celebrated in grand fashion after successfully defending their European championship title, though one player might have partied a bit excessively.

The Young Lions claimed victory as back-to-back Under-21 European champions following a thrilling 3-2 extra-time win against Germany in Slovakia. Jonathan Rowe, who came off the bench, secured the win with a decisive header during the extra period.

What happened next? A celebration, of course. After several demanding weeks, the team celebrated their triumph in Bratislava and continued to revel during their flight back home.

Tyler Morton seemed to be one of the liveliest, spotted chugging a beer on the plane – earning the nickname “Tyler De Bruyne” from Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, a nod to both his assist for the winner and his standout second-half display in the final.

Harvey Elliott, who scored in the final and was later named Player of the Tournament, also enjoyed the moment – seen rocking sunglasses and posing with the trophy and his teammates.

But Jack Hinshelwood may have taken it the furthest. The Brighton youngster was caught on camera by Elliott lying down on an airport luggage conveyor belt, cowboy hat still on, water bottle in hand, struggling to gather himself after the wild night.

It came despite manager Lee Carsley’s warning to “have a shandy or two” and go easy before the early hours flight back to Birmingham.

Let’s just say… Hinshelwood missed the memo.
