Newcastle’s Freddie Woodman has a clear idea of what he wants to do this season ...

Newcastle pair Armstrong and Woodman – who were loaned to Blackburn Rovers and Aberdeen respectively in the second half of last season – started the semi-final.

Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah scored twice after the break for England. Mikey Johnston had put Scotland ahead before half-time, but after Nketiah set up Callum Connolly's equaliser shortly after the restart, he scored twice to secure victory.

And goalkeeper Woodman is looking to add another piece of silverware to his collection.

Speaking earlier this month, Woodman said: "We're here to win it. England have won it the last two times, and this squad, we like winning trophies, so we've come here with the aim of winning again."
