Watkins' Late Goal Sends England to Euro 2024 Final
England's Ollie Watkins scored a brilliant last-gasp winner on Thursday to secure a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands and a place in Sunday's Euro 2024 final against Spain.
Watkins' goal came in the dying seconds of the match, just when it seemed that the match was headed for extra time. The Aston Villa forward received a pass from substitute Bukayo Saka and fired a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.
The goal sparked wild celebrations from the England players and fans, who had been on the edge of their seats throughout the match. It was a deserved victory for England, who had dominated the match for long periods but had been unable to make the breakthrough.
Watkins' goal was his fifth of the tournament, and he is now the joint-top scorer alongside Kylian Mbappé. He has been in excellent form for England throughout the tournament, and his goals have been vital in helping them reach the final.
England will now face Spain in the final on Sunday, and they will be hoping to win their first major tournament since the 1966 World Cup. They will be confident of their chances, having already beaten Spain in the group stage of the tournament. However, Spain will be a tough opponent, and England will need to be at their best to beat them.
Regardless of the result on Sunday, England's performance in this tournament has been a huge success. They have shown great character and determination, and they have played some excellent football. They will be confident of going all the way and winning the trophy.
