'The f****** best' - Footage shows Jones lauding England star in wild U21 celebrations

The Young Lions beat Spain 1-0 in Saturday' final to end England's 39-year wait for the title.

Liverpool midfielder Jones scored the only goal of the game after he inadvertently deflected Cole Palmer's free-kick into the bottom left corner.

But it was Manchester City goalkeeper Trafford who was the real hero for Lee Carsley's side, with the 20-year-old keeping out a stoppage-time penalty from Abel Ruiz.

He then reacted quickly to keep out Aimar Oroz's follow-up, before Sergio Camello blazed a third attempt high over the bar.

Trafford - who is closing in on a £19million transfer to newly-promoted Burnley - was mobbed by his jubilant teammates immediately after.
