- 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 With ten minutes of added time left, Chloe Kelly tapped home a loose ball from a corner to whip the boisterous record crowd of 87,192 into a frenzy.
In a moment of sheer happiness, she waited for confirmation of the goal before removing her shirt and waving it over her head as she was being carried by her teammates.
Sarina Wiegman's team demonstrated that they could handle anything a powerful and tough German team threw at them on a significant day in English football history.
Prior to Germany's Lina Magull's 79th-minute equaliser, Ella Toone had earlier scored the game's first goal off the bench to give the match an early lead.
