Freddie Woodman and Adam Armstrong victorious in South Korea

The Newcastle United goalkeeper superbly saved a late Adalberto Penaranda penalty in Suwon, meaning Dominic Calvert-Lewin's first-half goal was enough for England to lift the trophy.Adam Armstrong was also part of the first England squad to win a World Cup at any level since 1966.He was an unused substitute in the final against Venezuela, but more than played his part throughout the tournament, including a goal in the opening group game against Argentina.Woodman had already made an excellent save at the feet of Sergio Cordova and denied Yangel Herrera when, with 16 minutes left and England leading, referee Bjorn Kuipers pointed to the spot.Penaranda struck the ball powerfully towards the centre of the goal but Woodman, who had dived to his right, threw up a strong left arm to push it away.

And that won the World Cup for England - as well as helping to earn Woodman the golden glove award for the tournament's best goalkeeper.

He conceded just two goals throughout the tournament, keeping four clean sheets in six games.
