Man City goalkeeper James Trafford proves £19m price-tag with European U21 Championship final heroics

Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford wrote himself into the history books with a last-minute penalty save to hand England the European under-21 Championships on Saturday evening.

Lee Carsley's young Lions beat Spain 1-0 in a dramatic final in Georgia to be crowned European champions. Liverpool's Curtis Jones scored the winner in first-half stoppage time when Cole Palmer's free-kick deflected off his back and looped into the net.
