England have won the European Under-21 Championship with a 1-0 victory over Spain in the final in Georgia.

Spain captain Abel Ruiz saw a 51st-minute header correctly ruled out for offside as England found themselves under the cosh after the restart.

However, as the clock ticked into the last of six minutes of stoppage time, Eskas was advised to review Colwill’s challenge on Ruiz and awarded a penalty.

Keeper James Trafford dived to his right to keep out Ruiz’s spot-kick and then repelled substitute Aimar Oroz’s follow-up follow-up to preserve his clean sheet and ensure a 1-0 victory for his side.

The team is managed by former Ireland international Lee Carsley, who has been linked with the Ireland senior job in recent times.
