England has reached the European Championship final for the second time in a row after a thrilling comeback win over the Netherlands
Ollie Watkins, a substitute for captain Harry Kane, scored a stoppage-time winner to secure a 2-1 victory for England. This dramatic win sets up a title match against Spain.
England’s journey to the final has been marked by last-minute drama, with a stoppage-time equalizer against Slovakia in the round of 16 and a penalty shootout win over Switzerland in the quarterfinals.
The team’s exciting performances have kept fans on the edge of their seats, including King Charles III, who congratulated the team on their win. “I encourage you to secure victory without needing last-minute wonder goals or penalty shootouts,” the king said in a message, acknowledging the stress and excitement caused by England’s dramatic wins.
Watkins’ goal was a surprise highlight, given his limited playing time in the tournament. He had only appeared as a substitute in a group stage match against Denmark before his decisive contribution against the Netherlands.
