James Trafford’s last-gasp penalty heroics ensured England was crowned winner of the European Under-21 Championship with a 1-0 win against Spain.⁠ Liverpool youngster Curtis Jones scored the only goal of the game when he deflected Cole Palmer’s free kick into the Spanish net on the stroke of halftime.⁠ As the match was reaching its conclusion, Spain was awarded a 98th-minute penalty which striker Abel Ruiz stood over. Trafford saved Ruiz’s penalty before brilliantly saving the rebound from an onrushing Spanish attacker.⁠ "I told everyone this morning I was going to save a pen," Trafford said after the game. "When they got a penalty, I knew I was going to save it."⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #soccer #football #instasoccer #instafootball #england (📸Vano Shlamov/Getty Images)
