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.

Calvert-Lewin, who now plays for Everton, scored the game's only goal after 35 minutes after his initial shot was saved by the Venezuelan goalkeeper.

A second-half penalty save from Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman then preserved England's lead and ensured they became world champions.
