England win under-21 Euros with victory over Spain
England have won the European Under-21 Championship for the first time since 1984 with a 1-0 victory over Spain in the final.
The win came thanks to a goal from Curtis Jones four minutes into first-half stoppage time, when Cole Palmer's free kick was deflected off his back and into the net. Spain's Abel Ruiz thought he had equalised with a header from a free kick, but VAR ruled he was offside. Five minutes into stoppage time, Spain were awarded a penalty after Levi Colwill tackled Ruiz inside the box - but keeper James Trafford became the hero when he saved Ruiz's shot.Trafford revealed after the game that he predicted he would make a penalty save.
"I told everyone this morning I was going to save a pen," he said."When they got a penalty, I knew I was going to save it."
