Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon is full of pride after helping England win the U21 Euros.

Gordon was named Player of the Tournament.

I'm delighted and over the moon," said Gordon. I feel as though I've had a good tournament and I don't want give the clich because it's the truth me winning the [player of the tournament] trophy was down to my teammates and the staff.

Lee and everyone involved have been really good with me throughout. The team is a really unselfish group and there could've been six or seven players who won it. That's testament to how together we've been throughout the tournament.

It was a very intense game, but we knew that coming into. Spain are a top team and they're known for pushing players through their pathway and they have a particular style of play which is difficult to play against. So we knew we'd have to dig in at times and we did that really well ,and in tournaments sometimes you need a bit of luck and it came our way.

I felt coming into the tournament, we had so much individual ability but it's how you structure that and how we as individuals can put our egos aside and come together as one and that was the main part.

Our chemistry off the pitch was second-to-none, I can't tell you how good it was and I feel like the group in general was together in one goal and that was what we did."
