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 10 minutes remained in extra time, Chloe Kelly tapped home a loose ball from a corner to set off a furious celebration among the boisterous record crowd of 87,192.

She was hoisted up by her teammates in a moment of sheer joy as she waited for confirmation of the goal before removing her shirt and swinging it over her head.

Sarina Wiegman’s team demonstrated on a historic day in English football history that they could handle any physical and formidable opposition from Germany.

Ella Toone had opened the scoring in regular time after coming off the bench, and in the 79th minute, Germany’s Lina Magull equalized to set up an exciting finish.

As the gravity of their triumph dawned on the players on the pitch at full time, there were scenes of celebration and emotional outbursts in the fans.

The competition’s two top teams were expected to square off in the final, and they did for the most part, but the largest audience to have ever seen a men’s or women’s Euros received value for their money.

Before Toone was brought in to break the tie, England defender Leah Williamson had to scramble a corner off the line, Germany’s Magull fired wide, forward Ellen White wasted a couple opportunities, and Lucy Bronze was denied a header.
