LIVERPOOL YOUNGSTER RHIAN Brewster scored a hat-trick as England defeated Brazil 3-1 to progress to their first-ever U17 World Cup final.
Fresh from scoring another treble in England’s 4-1 quarter-final win over the US, Brewster was again clinical as the Young Lions booked their ticket to the final –where they will face either Mali or Spain.
Brewster opened the scoring in the ninth minute, firing home at the second attempt after forcing a save from Gabriel Brazao.
An equaliser from Brazil threatened to derail England’s hopes, with Wesley on target, but Brewster’s second, another close-range finish, restored their lead before half-time.
With 15 minutes remaining, Brewster was at it again, turning home after superb build-up play from England, ensuring that they will contest Saturday’s showpiece.
That feeling when you score back-to-back World Cup hat-tricks ️⚽️️⚽️️⚽️

Two very average sides at the moment, the premier league has been in steady decline for a number of years now.
Both teams not in great form but Utd have the knack of winning games this season when they could be drawing or losing them which could be the difference on Sunday but in saying that it is Man Utd v Liverpool and form tends to go out the window in these games and I’m sure both teams will be fired up for it.
Dont care what gary neville thinks.. lvg is a winner
I watched a good bit of this game, it’s the first time I have seen UTD since the beginning of the season. They haven’t improved much. How are they 3rd.
Because the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Everton etc, their main rivals from last year are playing worse than Utd this season.
No it’s not. It’s because they’ve got 28 points from 15 games and would be top 4 with that tally any other season too.
I wish ye’d actually upload the video of van Gaal’s response. He is so outraged, it’s brilliant!
Sorry, wasn’t up when I first posted.
In fairness he is right to say he has to pay attention to his words. They needed three points from St. Marys and they got them. There is no point in a past player wading in and being critical when they are 3rd in the league. At least wait until after the New Year to bash the team.
Gway they wouldn’t beat Eggs..
It was a dire performance by Utd. However for the 3 clear chances Utd they converted two which has to be seen as good. On a rugby pitch that would be an excellent return, especially if the other side were dominating possession like Southampton were last night.
3rd in the league and facing Liverpool on Sunday with a number of straight wins…its shaping up to be a cracker for both sides!!
