England 2-1 Netherlands: Watkins scores last-gasp winner to send England to Euro 2024 final

A sensational goal from Ollie Watkins in the dying moments of the game has sent England to the final of Euro 2024.

The Aston Villa striker came off the bench to score a stunning goal that beat Netherlands goalkeeper Justin Bijlow at his near post.

England had taken the lead in the first half through Mason Mount, but Netherlands equalised through Memphis Depay just after the hour mark. The game looked to be heading for extra time, but Watkins had other ideas.

The 26-year-old picked up the ball on the right-hand side of the pitch and drove into the Netherlands box. He cut inside and fired a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.

It was a cruel blow for Netherlands, who had been the better team for much of the game. But England held on to claim a famous victory and book their place in the final.

Conclusion

England will now face either Italy or Spain in the final on Sunday. It will be their first major final since the 1966 World Cup. The Three Lions will be hoping to end their long wait for a major trophy and bring football home once again.
