TheFA.com brings you free highlights of England's European U21 Championship Play-Off against France at White Hart on Friday night.
Darren Ambrose fired a late equaliser to keep alive England's chances of reaching the UEFA European U21 Championships next summer.
It was a record crowd for an England Under-21 fixture as nearly 35,000 fans piled into White Hart Lane for this crucial play-off encounter.
Peter Taylor's side looked to be facing an uphill struggle after Sunderland's on-loan Liverpool forward Anthony Le Tallec had fired France into the lead on 47 minutes.
But despite missing a host of chances in the second-half, the young lions were rewarded when Ambrose fired home with three minutes left to keep the tie firmly alive when the two sides meet again on Tuesday night.
