England players celebrate with the trophy after the Women's Euro 2022 final football match between England and Germany at Wembley stadium in London.England's Euro 2022 dream has become a reality as substitute Chloe Kelly's extra-time finish saw the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 and secure the first major trophy in their history in front of a record-breaking crowd at Wembley Stadium.
Eight-time champions Germany - who had lost star forward Alexandra Popp to injury in the warm-up - equalised with 11 minutes of normal time remaining through Lina Magull, and the game looked on course for a penalty shootout until Kelly's effort fired Sarina Wiegman's side to glory.
Meanwhile, boss Wiegman could savour back-to-back Euros successes after overseeing the Netherlands' triumph on home soil in 2017. Her record in charge of England after taking up her post last September has been near-flawless — 20 games, no defeats, 18 wins, 106 goals scored and only five conceded.
