Portugal secured a remarkable victory over France to win Euro 2016 without Cristiano Ronaldo, injured for most of the match, with Eder's stunning extra-time strike the difference.

The substitute struck the historic blow after 109 minutes, beating Hugo Lloris from distance to deflate the hosts and hand his side their first ever major honour.

This final was a fitting an end to Euro 2016 - a cagey tournament punctuated by moments of magic.

Top scorer Antoine Griezmann twice came close to producing his own during the 90 minutes and substitute Andre-Pierre Gignac saw a stoppage-time effort hit the post after Ricardo Quaresma tested Lloris with an acrobatic strike.

Portugal upped the ante in extra-time and Raphael Guerreiro's free-kick rattled the crossbar, before Eder's moment of magic.
