England made history by winning their first major women’s tournament in a dramatic Euro 2022 final against old rivals and eight-time champions Germany at Wembley.
Substitute Chloe Kelly struck the crucial goal in the 110th minute of extra-time for England’s Lionesses to rewrite history and win their first European Women’s Championship at a sold-out Wembley.
It was the country’s first major football success since the 1966 World Cup. Unsurprisingly, the Three Lions anthem was played seconds after the final whistle.
Germany had won this title on nine occasions but the players sank to their knees when Kelly scrambled in a shot at the second attempt after Lauren Hemp’s corner.
Just when it seemed the match was going to penalties, Kelly, who plays for Manchester City, picked the perfect time to score her first goal of the tournament.
Once again, England coach Sarina Wiegman changed the game with her substitutions.
