England U21s enjoy muted celebrations at team hotel after winning Euros as players focus on pre-season despite historic victory

England's U21 side only had muted celebrations on Saturday evening after winning the European Championships.

Lee Carsley's side won the tournament in dramatic fashion in a 1-0 win after Cole Palmer's free-kick hit Curtis Jones and ended up in the back of the net in the second half.

Spain were awarded a penalty late on after Chelsea's Levi Colwill tripped Abel Ruiz in the box, but Burnley-bound James Trafford saved the spot kick and the rebound to ensure England listed the trophy for the first time since 1984.

Wild celebrations followed as the team ran onto the field at the full time whistle before lifting the trophy in jubilation.
