Substitute Watkins puts England in finals

England are in the final of Euro 2024. England faces Spain in Berlin on Sunday after a last-minute strike from substitute Ollie Watkins sealed victory over the Netherlands.

Late Ollie Watkins scored a 90th-minute winner against Netherlands.

A game that was Premier League in feel and quality and quite the best England have been involved in at this tournament had swept end to end.

Fans were ecstatic and overjoyed.

Gareth Southgate’s side looked to be going into extra time for the third successive game after Harry Kane’s contentious first-half penalty equalised a thunderous early strike from Xavi Simons until Watkins struck.

England’s victory over the Netherlands in Dortmund has left Southgate and his players one game from history and ending the so-called “years of hurt” stretching back 58 years.

The campaign in Germany a slow-burner. But the torch lit on a sultry, stormy night. England now have the opportunity to finish with glory against favourites Spain at the Olympiastadion.

England contest first final on foreign soil after the 1966 World Cup final and the Euro 2020 finals played at Wembley.

Southgate and England have become synonymous with near misses at major tournaments during his eight-year reign but have earned themselves an opportunity write a new chapter in their history.
