The Valencia winger smashed in from the edge of the area following Bernardo Silva’s clever cutback, though Dutch goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen will be disappointed he did not keep the effort out.

After only featuring as a substitute in the semi-final victory, Guedes returned to the starting line-up in place of Joao Felix and provided the decisive moment in the second half.

The Dutch looked to get back into the game but Memphis Depay’s powerful header was well saved by Wolves number one Rui Patricio and ex-Middlesbrough midfielder Marten de Roon lashed over.

England trumped over Switzerland in Guimaraes via penalties shoot outs to finish third in the tournament.
