England are celebrating after Ollie Watkins scored a dramatic last-gasp winner against the Netherlands.
England are celebrating reaching a second successive European Championship final after Ollie Watkins scored a dramatic last-gasp winner against the Netherlands on Wednesday.England manager Gareth Southgate has been criticised throughout the tournament for his use – or lack of – substitutions, but he certainly got it right on an eventful night in Dortmund.
The game had been locked at 1-1 since the 18th minute when Kane cancelled out a Xavi Simon’s screamer with a controversial penalty.The England hero told ITV: “I swear on my life, on my kids’ lives, I said to Cole Palmer, ‘We’re coming on and you’re going to set me up’ and that’s why I was so happy with Coley.The England boss celebrated with gusto after the final whistle
Whatever decision he takes over his future after the tournament, he can surely be proud of a record that now features two Euros finals and a World Cup last four spot.“I think it has to be the best, it’s another landmark,” he said. “It’s an amazing feeling. I’m so pleased how we played.Amid all the jubilation, there was also some acknowledgement that England, after their late equaliser against Slovakia and penalty shoot-out win against Switzerland, had enjoyed more good fortune.
The Barcelona starlet became the youngest goalscorer in Euros history at 16 years and 362 days with his stunning equaliser in Spain’s 2-1 defeat of France in Tuesday’s semi-final.
