PIC: Jack Grealish celebrates winning a European Championship (sort of)

Homesport

We all knew Jack Grealish would win an international tournament in 2016.

Didn't we? Anyway, a season that promised so much for the Aston Villa youngster and delivered so little has ended on a high, with England's Under-21s winning the Toulon Tournament, beating France 2-1 in the final. It is the Three Lions' first triumph in the competition since 1994, when the likes of Jamie Redknapp, Sol Campbell and Trevor Sinclair helped defeat Portugal in the final. Just three members of the current squad were born the last time England won the trophy - Sunderland duo Jordan Pickford and Duncan Watmore and Southampton's Jack Stephens. https://twitter.com/TournoiToulon/status/736993170144284673 Gareth Southgate's squad beat France 2-1 in the final with goals from Chelsea duo Lewis Baker and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Grealish, who scored two goals en route to the final, did not make an appearance in the final but - naturally - was quick to take to social media to celebrate the victory. https://twitter.com/JackGrealish1/status/736997889403195392 Naturally, he got lots and lots of responses to his tweet. Quite a lot of them from angry Villa and Ireland fans. https://twitter.com/ryan114av/status/736998093393121280 https://twitter.com/Tonerrrrrrr/status/736998545341992960 https://twitter.com/Tonerrrrrrr/status/736999468722180097 https://twitter.com/DamoDelaldo/status/737000577570377732 https://twitter.com/TheSullis/status/736999032531341313 Some people were happy for the Aston Villa midfielder. https://twitter.com/JacobD93/status/736999719117967360 https://twitter.com/garyavfchorton/status/737003333802688518 Snapchat
