Football: A controversial England penalty has football fans up in arms during England's semi-final against the Netherlands.
Controversial penalty keeps ENG in Euros | 01:33England took a long time to get going in Germany but march on to Berlin to face Spain in Monday morning’s Euro 2024 final buoyed by more late drama and their best performance of the tournament toOllie Watkins was the unlikely hero for the Three Lions as the Aston Villa striker smashed in a stoppage-time winner in Dortmund, having only played 20 minutes in the previous five games.
The two subs combined as Watkins spun onto Palmer’s pass and fired low and hard into the far corner to send England into a first ever major tournament final on foreign soil. “He’s created an environment for players to go out and express themselves, there’s been a bit of luck but we all need that,” Keane said.
Spain will be favourites for the final after their near flawless progress through the tough side of the draw, eliminating hosts Germany and France in the process.But after surviving thanks to late equalisers against Slovakia and Switzerland in the previous two rounds, England finally produced some substance to match their resilience against the Dutch.
“We deserved to win tonight. We were very fluid in our formation, it wasn’t just a back three, we had to adapt all the time and the players made so many good decisions.”Southgate’s switch of system since the quarter-final to get both Foden and Jude Bellingham playing in the central roles they have thrived for Manchester City and Real Madrid has aid dividends.
Dumfries denied him a first goal of the tournament by centimetres by clearing off the line after Foden nutmegged Verbruggen.
