Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta set up Alexandre Lacazette for a late winning goal Friday as France rallied to beat Spain 2-1 to win the under-19 European Championship for the second time.With five minutes remaining, Kakuta took the ball and spun around in midfield, dribbling past the two central defenders with sudden changes of direction. Kakuta's shot was saved by goalkeeper Alex, but he followed up and chipped the ball perfectly for Lacazette to head in at the far post.
Spain, which has won the tournament four times, took the lead in the 18th minute through striker Rodrigo before Gilles Sunu equalized for the French in the 49th.
France previously won the tournament in 2005, while Spain's wins were in '02, '04, '06 and '07.
