Reigning champions England produced yet another remarkable comeback to reach the Euro 2025 final with a last-gasp victory over Italy in extra time.
Teenage striker Michelle Agyemang kept England in the tournament when she came off the bench to equalise in the 96th minute of normal time.
And, with a minute left in the extra period, fellow substitute Chloe Kelly drilled home the rebound after her penalty was saved to send a delirious England into the final.
It was a thrilling ending to another dramatic evening in Switzerland as England’s substitutes stole the show once again and Sarina Wiegman’s side refused to give up the defence of their title.
Agyemang’s fairytale story continues as the 19-year-old scored her second goal of the tournament – both from the bench – drilling the ball past goalkeeper Laura Giuliani with precision and composure.
Barbara Bonansea put Italy ahead in the first half, before Wiegman turned to her trusted bench for inspiration and they delivered.
Wiegman will attempt to win an incredible third straight Euros title as a manager, while her England side are into a third successive major final – and they have taken the scenic route to get there.
They will play the winner of Wednesday’s semi-final tie between Euro 2022 runners-up Germany and world champions Spain in Basel on Sunday at 17:00 BST.
