England Reach Euro 2024 Final After Thrilling Win Over Netherlands
Watkins' Last-Gasp Winner Earns Spot Against Spain
England will face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 after a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the semifinals.
Ollie Watkins scored a dramatic injury-time winner to secure England's place in Sunday's final against La Roja. The Aston Villa forward pounced on a loose ball in the penalty area and fired home a left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
England had taken the lead through Raheem Sterling in the first half, but the Netherlands leveled through Cody Gakpo just after the hour mark. It looked like the match was heading for extra time, but Watkins had other ideas with his late heroics.
England will now face Spain in the final on Sunday at Wembley Stadium. Luis Enrique's side beat Italy 2-1 in the other semifinal and will be looking to win their fourth European Championship title.
England, meanwhile, will be hoping to win their first major tournament since the 1966 World Cup. Gareth Southgate's side have impressed throughout Euro 2024 and will be full of confidence heading into the final.
