Saints trio win Toulon Tournament with England U21s

After four wins from four games in the group stages, Gareth Southgate’s side took on France in the final of the competition, and won 2-1.

Ward-Prowse captained England and played the full 80 minutes, while Targett was replaced by club teammate Stephens in the closing moments.

Chelsea’s Lewis Baker headed home from Ward-Prowse’s pass to give England the lead in the first half, before Ruben Loftus-Cheek doubled their advantage.

Abdou Diallo pulled a goal back for France with two minutes remaining, but England held on to win the Toulon Tournament for the first time since 1994.
