Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins scored a late winner as England beat the Netherlands 2-1 in the Euro 2024 semifinals. Watkins’ goal in the 88th minute sent England to their first major tournament final since the 1966 World Cup.
The Netherlands took the lead through Matthijs de Ligt’s header in the first half, but Harry Kane equalized for England just before halftime. The match seemed headed for extra time before Watkins’ dramatic late winner.
England will now face Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. Spain defeated France 2-0 in the other semifinal match, with goals from Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal.
England manager Gareth Southgate praised his team’s determination and spirit, saying, “The players have shown incredible character and resilience. We’re thrilled to be in the final.”
The final promises to be an exciting encounter between two of the tournament’s top teams. England will be seeking their first major tournament title since 1966, while Spain are aiming for their fourth European Championship title.
