Sunday’s Euro 2024 final in Berlin will pit England against Spain following Ollie Watkins’ injury-time goal that gave them the victory against the Netherlands.

Watkins’ goal put Gareth Southgate’s team into extra time for the third straight game after Harry Kane’s controversial first-half penalty equalized Xavi Simons’ powerful early strike.

Phil Foden was the star of the first half as England controlled, sending one long-range shot against the crossbar and forcing a superb save from Dutch keeper Bart Verbruggen.

After the interval, the Netherlands, who had seen Denzel Dumfries’ header go wide, had the upper hand, and Jordan Pickford’s crucial saves were needed to put England at bay.

On a thrilling night in Dortmund, England advanced to their second consecutive European Championship final thanks to a fantastic late score on the turn from Watkins, who replaced Kane. Before then, they faced an additional thirty minutes of play.
