England have reached the final of Euro 24 with a 2-1 win against Holland.
They did it the hard way, coming from behind to book their place in Sunday’s final where they will meet Spain.
Simons fired the Dutch into the lead on seven minutes but England found a quick response with what looked a harsh penalty decision. Only one man was going to take the spot kick. Harry Kane stepped up and thumped the ball low into the net. 1-1 and game on.
England dominated the first half but Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman changed his midfield at the break and shut off England’s supply.
Just as extra time loomed, substitute Ollie Watkins was slipped into the box by Palmer, a half turn and the ball was in the net. Goal. Exactly what he has been doing at Aston Villa all season. Now, the winning goal for England in the semi-final of Euro 24. What a night.
