Hide AdPlaying against five-time winners Germany is always a tough task - but playing them in a final is a whole different game, and the Lionesses proved once again that they were built for something special with a win that struck through the heart of the nation and will never be forgotten.
Everyone on the England team was special but the greatest story will be told by substitute Chloe Kelly who poked home the winner in extra time.
She had missed the last 11 months with an ACL injury, but all the frustrations will now be replaced by the excitement and pride of scoring the winning goal at the Euros.
Ella Toone had earlier on opened the scoring before Germany, one of the best teams in the history of the women’s game, equalised through Lina Magull to set up a nervous ending and take the game to extra time.
