England have defeated Venezuela 1-0 in FIFA U20 World Cup 2017 final at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, Korea Republic.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the winning goal in the 35th minute when he finished from close range after his initial effort was blocked by Wuilker Farinez, but the rebound fell into the path of the Everton forward and he made no mistake with his second chance.

England goalkeeper Freddie Woodman made a vital save in the second half from the penalty spot taken by Adalberto Penaranda.

It was England's first appearance in the final of a global tournament since their World Cup victory 51 years ago. Their previous best at the Under-20 World Cup was third place in 1993.
