England beat Netherlands 2-1 at Euro 2024
Gareth Southgate's England have won through to the final where they will face Spain in Berlin on Sunday
On a thrilling evening in Dortmund, substitute Ollie Watkins' superbly-taken last-gasp winner pushed England, this England, through to the 2024 European Championship final. Gareth Southgate's stoic Three Lions made their way to Sunday's grand finale in Berlin, where they will play Spain in their second consecutive Euro final following 2022, in Germany's old industrial heartland.
Ten years ago, Watkins was Weston-Super-Mare's number nine. Now, the 28-year-old forward for Aston Villa has cemented his place in history as one of England's most prolific goal scorers in pivotal moments. His superb finish on Wednesday night against Ronald Koeman's Netherlands team at a boisterous Westfahlen sealed the win. On minute thirteen, Harry Kane, unbowed, put Brighton's Bart Verbruggen to the test in the Dutch goal. England was trying to get back into the game when Kane blasted over the bar, just before Bukayo Saka drove into the area.
