England 1-1 Spain AET (3-1 pens): Lionesses WIN Women’s Euros – again! – after dramatic penalty shootout as Chloe Kelly bags winning spot kick
Three summer ago, he provided an image for the ages, competed on the grass of Wembley, turned his shirt on his head at an indelible beauty, and thought it could not be iconic again. We were wrong.
When the Sun began to sink in this stadium on Sunday night, Chloe Kelly went to the penalty point on her face, showing absolute certainty. He covered football from his hands five times and is waiting until he is completely satisfied with his place. Then he adjusted the ponyta where he grabbed his golden hair. And then, he took a step to send a penalty kick that protected the title of the European Championship for England.
A week ago, he ran to the corner flag as after the strike from the spot he saved in the quarterfinals.
The 27 -year -old shining light of this UK team had not even started the match. Was there a better, more willing and effective backup in the UK Women’s or Men’s Tournament staff than this player over time? Almost absolutely not.
‘Clappers’, which is the police closing ceremony of the tournament, did not point to the people in silver suits playing basic pyrotechnics and electrical strings, cello and violin and national anthems in the silver suits, from the very beginning that England seems to be ready to seize it and turn it into someone.
The first tips came directly in football: the balls from his own half of Lauren cannabis to ride Spain to the right and low efforts to find his foot Lauren James’in asked to find Alessia Russo’yu. Here is the quality we barely see from England last month.

There was also the first half gift. Goalkeeper Cati Coll, HEMP seized to move towards the target and sends a weak transition that sends a shot from a close distance, saves himself, manages to prevent.
In this tournament, we knew that they would need defense perfection to keep the team with the most goals, property and average chances per game, but in this department to lead Spain, Britain’s marking, Lucy Bronze, Lucy Bronze, Lucy Bronze, felt an overload for leaving a large space on the left side of the box.
Spain brought this together, because an inappropriate and an actor who should not start this game was asleep in the accumulation, dragging a semi -individual way around the danger channel that Spain attacked. Spain scored his goals, because his hands standing in his head Bronze, just like Italy’s semi -final goals in the semi -finals were deprived of awareness.
At that time you were afraid of England, because when the momentum change arrived, it was mercilessly difficult for a group of players who found themselves stuck in the wicked Spanish carriage. Britain had to be fixed on the ball for the air, which could not go out for the air, only to rest on the ball, but it did not manage it. As Spain progressed, they did not step on Spanish, which advancing with a deep and compact game plan, rather than moving to close their back ridges.
However, Spain, Sarina Wiegman’s players in this tournament ‘appropriate England’ did not explain. It was a more aggressive England side for the second half – a team that did not want to submit – and Kelly, who changed James in the closing stages of the first half, was the driving force from the beginning, and an elegant cross to the meeting and equalization of Russo.
One of the football developments of this tournament has been a transition quality that exceeds the other women’s international tournament, and Kelly provided more in any tournament in a tournament since a record was first taken in 2011.
Then he put it in the box, sliding the ball to the right from his left foot, and he was taking a shot that reached his fingertips to push Coll’s wide.
England also defended his boxes well. Here Jess Carter had monumental performances, at the end of a tournament, a tournament and Leah Williamson that challenged him in many ways. Lucy bronze is also with tremendous physicality. Another great performance from him. Claudia Pina, while running and shot in the left hand of England’s box, time stopped, but Hannah Hampton threw himself to an instinctive rescue and separated the ball.

Three years ago, while maintaining the title they gained on the house in Wembley, emotions rose full time
When Wiegman sent Michelle Agyemang in 70 minutes, there was a target and physical being for Kelly’s delivery.
Agyemang wrestled with Pina’s ownership and leaving Spanish on the grass, sending a cannabis with a cannabis. Wiegman also saw the desire of cannabis. From the technical field, Dutch UK called to find and watch him.
Jeopardy was enormous. The hesitation of a second was the only thing that Bonmati had to throw a ball towards the right channel for Batlle for Batlle’s defense of England, a clear and present danger of Salma Paralluelo – a clear and present danger.
He took us to another conflict of unbearable tension.
When Beth Mead shifted his first kick, he climbed his hands in the circle of Aggyemang, and the striker was forced to take it back like a double touch, he missed, allowing Patri the first advantage of Spain.
Britain’s strokes have been a major development in miserable conflicts against the Swedes. Alex Greenwood’s solid and Niamh Charles’ empathic. Leah Williamson’s goalkeeper’s low and right -handed strike took the highest order for Parry.
However, after Hampton’s two perfect rescues and the width of the wild stroke of the wild stroke, they all came to Kelly, the player of the British era, and this Wembley final will never be enough.
