Freddie Woodman England's hero as Newcastle keeper saves penalty in historic Under-20 World Cup final win


The only goal of the game came in the 35th minute when Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin tucked home against Venezuela in the Under-20 World Cup final in Suwon, Korea.
But the Young Lions, managed by former Magpies coach Paul Simpson, had Woodman, on loan at Kilmarnock last season, to thank for victory, as he produced a second-half penalty stop from Adalberto Penaranda.

Fellow United youngster Adam Armstrong was an unused sub in the final.
