England U17s were knocked out on penalties at the U17 European Championships quarter-final stage by Italy U17.
Port Vale striker Baylee Dipepa once again featured, making his seventh appearance for the side after coming on as a 59th minute substitute. The Valiants forward has netted four times for his country including one in this summer’s championships.
The match ended 1-1 in normal time with Italy triumphing 5-4. Dipepa at least had the consolation of netting in the penalty shootout.
The tournament has been a massive learning curve for the Port Vale youngster, who was virtually unknown at the start of last season.
The 17 year-old made his professional debut, scored his first senior goal and landed a professional contract last season.
His talent has reportedly drawn the interest of bigger clubs with the likes of Man Utd, Aston Villa and West Ham all linked with the youngster.
Took his penalty really well calm and composed,this lad will have a successful career as long as he keeps injury free..UTV VTID
