Real Sociedad's Oyarzabal scored with four minutes remaining after coming on as a second-half substitute, helping Luis de la Fuente's team to its fourth European Championship crown.

That is more than any other nation has managed in the competition's 64-year history as Spain was indebted to Oyarzabal's deft finish from Marc Cucurella's left-wing delivery.

The 27 year-old refused to take the acclaim for his heroics against Gareth Southgate's side, however.

"I have done my job. I did what I had to do at every moment to try to help," Spain's match-winner told reporters after Sunday's 2-1 win.

"I was lucky enough to give the victory. Just the fact of being in the 27, you value it a lot here. To have the moment to help as it has happened to me is the best.

"It happened to me but could have happened to anyone."

Nico Williams had earlier opened the scoring after the interval before substitute Cole Palmer levelled to tee up a tantalising finale.

Williams, aged 22 years and two days, became the second youngest player to score in a Euros final, behind only Pietro Anastasi in 1968 for Italy (20 years, 64 days).

His finish, just 69 seconds in the second half, was also the earliest second-half goal scored in a European Championship showpiece.

"Euphoric. All our people deserve it. We suffered a lot. They had a good team," Williams said after full-time in Berlin. 

"They have players who can make the difference but we were able to counter their weapons and in the end we won the European Championship and we are very happy."
