England’s women have been crowned European champions for the first time after Chloe Kelly’s goal in the second half of extra-time seized a 2-1 win, enough to beat Germany in the final at Wembley.
The teams could not be separated after 120 minutes of football, and Kelly, the Manchester City player, poked home after the ball bounced her way after a corner from Lauren Hemp. England led through Ella Toone before being pegged back in normal time, but Kelly’s first ever international goal delivered England’s Lionesses a first ever major international tournament victory.
