England reach Euro 2024 final as Ollie Watkins stuns Netherlands
England booked their place in the final of Euro 2024 against Spain with a dramatic late winner from Ollie Watkins helping the Three Lions past the Netherlands 2-1.
In what proved to be a back-and-forth opening 45 minutes, Xavi Simons opened the scoring for the Netherlands on seven minutes, with his long-range effort beating Jordan Pickford in the England net.
A controversial penalty just over 10 minutes later saw England handed a route back into the contest, with skipper Harry Kane stepping up from the spot to equalise for Gareth Southgate’s side. The penalty was the softest of penalties, with Kane actually kicking Denzel Dumfries, only for VAR to award the spot-kick in England’s favour.
