The 20-year-old became a hero for his side after he saved an Adalberto Penaranda penalty in the second half of the final with the Three Lions leading 1-0.

After the game, he said: "I know it's the old cliché but you dream about saving a penalty in a World Cup final, and for me to say it now is little bit crazy."
