England Reach Euro 2024 Final with Dramatic Last-Minute Winner
Sensational Strike from Ollie Watkins Secures Victory over Netherlands
Substitute Scores Historic Goal to Send England to Berlin
In a thrilling Euro 2024 semifinal clash, England has secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, courtesy of a breathtaking last-minute goal from substitute Ollie Watkins. The Aston Villa striker's stunning effort sent England to their first major tournament final since 2021, where they will face Spain in Berlin on Sunday.
Watkins's goal came in the dying moments of the match, as England desperately searched for a winner. With just seconds remaining, the ball fell to the 27-year-old at the edge of the box. In a moment of sheer brilliance, Watkins unleashed a thunderous strike that arrowed into the top corner, leaving the Dutch goalkeeper with no chance.
The goal sparked pandemonium among the English players and fans, who had endured a tense and nail-biting encounter. England had taken the lead early on through a penalty from captain Harry Kane, but the Netherlands equalized midway through the second half with a header from Memphis Depay.
England's victory was particularly remarkable given the fact that they had to play the last 20 minutes of the match with 10 men after Luke Shaw was sent off for a second yellow card. However, the English players showed incredible resilience and determination to hold on for the win and book their place in the final.
