Ecstasy. With a first-ever goal from Chloe Kelly, England upset the eight-time winners Germany to win their first major trophy since 1966.
How Many Euros have England Won
The match was filled with record-breaking moments, intense emotions, and bursting hearts.
After it appeared like Ella Toone’s incredible second-half chip over Merle Frohms had won it, Lina Magull’s goal in the 79th minute forced overtime.
After struggling back from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that destroyed her Olympic dream and threatened her European one, Kelly pounced, turning in from close range to take the headlines.
Kelly, as a nod to the revolution initiated by the Lionesses, took her shirt off in joy, mimicking the iconic image of American striker Brandi Chastain from the 1999 Women’s World Cup final, which helped the game explode in the United States.
