Spain booked their place in the knockout rounds of the competition thanks to that victory, while Italy will have to face Croatia in their next fixture to secure their past into the next round.

The 21-year-old winger, who has Ghanaian heritage, stole the show against the Azzurri and particularly troubled Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

The Italian right-back had difficulty dealing with the young winger and often found himself unable to keep up.

Williams’ performance soon started trending on social media, with fans trolling Di Lorenzo for his inability to keep up with the Spaniard.
