  • Renato Sanches impressed

    Still only 18, Renato Sanches enjoyed the finest night of his fledgling career as he started for Portugal for the first time in Euro 2016 in their quarter-final win over Poland.

    The teenage sensation who completed a big money move to Bayern Munich this summer, scored with a stunning strike from outside the box to draw his side level albeit with the help of a slight deflection.

    He brought plenty of energy and drive to the midfield throughout the 120 minutes of action and also dispatched his penalty emphatically as Portugal won the shootout 5-3 following a 1-1 score at the end of extra-time.
