Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner emotional as he dedicates USMNT win to young cancer victim

Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner looked visibly emotional as he dedicated the USMNT's penalty shootout win over Canada to a young cancer victim.

The Gunners back-upto Aaron Ramsdale was the hero as he saved two spot kicks to send his team into the semi finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup after the US rallied during extra time to take the game to penalties. The Stars and Stripes had looked to have edged the encounter after taking the lead in the 88th minute through Brandon Vazquez before Miles Robinson was adjudged to have handled in the box by referee Marco Ortiz in the 93rd minute.

Steven Vitoria then duly dispatched his penalty to level proceedings, forcing another thirty minutes of play — with the momentum having swung in the direction of Canada. With the game heading towards a dramatic conclusion, Jacob Shaffelburg then put John Herdman's team into the lead in the 109th minute.
