Watkins took a pass from fellow late substitute Cole Palmer and fired home from a tight angle in the 90th minute.
Ollie Watkins said he had a premonition about the last-gasp goal that swept England into the Euro 2024 final with a dramatic comeback win over the Netherlands.
And the Aston Villa man praised both his team-mate and the never-say-die spirit that has taken Gareth Southgate’s side all the way against all the odds.Watkins said on ITV: “Unbelievable. I’ve been waiting for that moment for weeks. It’s taken a lot of hard work to get to where I am now. I’m grateful I got the opportunity and I grabbed it with both hands and I’m delighted.
“You’ve got to be greedy, touch and shoot and when I see it going into the bottom corner it’s the best feeling ever.
