NEWCASTLE UNITED goalkeeper Freddie Woodman was England’s penalty hero as they claimed the Under-20 World Cup in South Korea.

Woodman, who is yet to make a senior appearance for the Magpies, saved a penalty as England claimed a 1-0 win over Venezuela in the World Cup final.

Dominic Calvert-Lewis scored the only goal of the game as England claimed the Under-20 crown for the first time.

Paul Simpson’s Young Lions were the first England side to reach a world showpiece for over half a century and they followed in the footsteps of Sir Alf Ramsey's team, who lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966.

Everton's Calvert-Lewin scored the game's only goal after 35 minutes, but Venezuela looked like claiming a late equaliser when they were awarded a penalty.

However, Woodman made a superb save to preserve England's 1-0 lead and ensure they became world champions.
