England created 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 poked home a loose ball from
a corner to send the raucous record crowd of 87,192 into a frenzy with ten
minutes of extra time remaining.
She waited for confirmation of the goal before
taking off her shirt and waving it around her head, while being lifted by her
team-mates in a moment of pure elation.
On a monumental day in the history of English
football, Sarina Wiegman's side showed they were equal to anything a strong and
physical German team threw at them.
Ella Toone had earlier come off the bench to score
the opener in normal time before Germany's Lina Magull set up a nervous ending
when she equalised in the 79th minute.
There were scenes of jubilation in the stands and an
outpouring of emotion by players on the pitch at full-time as the magnitude of
their achievement began to sink in.
