England Reach Euro 2024 Final After Tense Victory Over Netherlands
England secured their place in the Euro 2024 final following a tense 2-1 victory over Netherlands at Borussia Dortmund's BVB Stadion on Wednesday.
This sets up a mouthwatering final clash on Sunday, where the Three Lions will chase their first-ever European Championship title against Spain.
The Dutch struck first, with a young Xavi Simons finding the net in just the 7th minute. However, England responded swiftly through their talismanic captain, Harry Kane, who equalized ten minutes later.
The second half continued in a similar vein, with clear-cut chances at a premium. As the match approached stoppage time, it appeared extra time was inevitable. However, a moment of brilliance from Ollie Watkins snatched victory for England.
In the 90th minute, the striker found the back of the net, sending the English faithful into a state of euphoria.
This hard-fought victory represents a significant step forward for Gareth Southgate's squad. They remain on course to end England's long trophy drought, and their resilience in the face of Dutch pressure bodes well for the upcoming final.
