The first half was slightly cagey and was at instances fairly scrappy. The referee wanted to try to put a lid on it…yellow playing cards in all places.
It’s all gone a bit scrappy, fouls in all places. Crowd are up. Monzul wants to maintain management of this for the subsequent jiffy.

The sport wasn’t free of some tasty challenges. Neither set of gamers held again.
Wonder what the “gosh, Women’s football is so clean and pure, you never see unnecessarily heavy challenges or diving in it” crowd are pondering of this one

What a superb second! Chloe Kelly goes to take her prime off, checks the objective DEFINITELY went in then races across the pitch waving it over her head.

I see you @Chloe_Kelly98 nicely executed. Enjoy the free rounds of pints and dinners for the remainder of your life from all of England. Cheers!

Injury would have dominated Kelly out of the Euros final summer season had it gone forward as deliberate. It’s an incredible narrative and exhibits simply how a lot the squad as a complete has contributed.
Absolutely made up for Chloe Kelly. A 12 months in the past, she was on the sidelines with an ACL damage that dominated her out of the Olympics after a career-best season. She simply scored the winner in a Women’s Euros final to ship England’s girls’s staff their first ever main title. Insane

What a fudging improbable win for England! A sterling effort by Sarina Wiegman, her gamers and her workers. Making historical past, successful their first main match, their first Euros. Amazing it is two Euros debutants Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly who bagged the successful targets.
