England U21 have defeated Spain in the final of the U21 Euros.

Manchester City midfielder Cole Palmer's deflected goal saw England won 1-0, with the win secured goalkeeper James Trafford's 99th minute penalty save.

Abel Ruiz was denied by City keeper Trafford, who also saved the follow up.

It meant Trafford had not been beaten throughout the tournament - a record.

The win meant Lee Carsley's talented side are the third England team to win the competition after previously picking up the trophy in 1982 and 1984.
