Stuart Pearce's England Under-21s were crushed in their European Championship final in Malmo as Germany ran riot in a 4-0 victory.

Mesut Ozil's long-range free-kick embarrassed stand-in goalkeeper Scott Loach but England were already trailing at that stage to Gonzalo Castro's opener at Swedbank Stadion.

Sandro Wagner then added two late goals to continue Pearce's jinx against Germany, after losing to them twice as a player in major tournaments.

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer did not make a save throughout the one-sided match, leaving Pearce to rue leaving Daniel Sturridge with the Under-20s in the absence of Gabriel Agbonlahor and Fraizer Campbell.
