England are the new UEFA Women’s champions!

gland made history on Sunday as the Three Lionesses claimed their first ever European Championship after overcoming Germany 2-1 in the final at Wembley.
An extra-time winner from Chloe Kelly sealed victory for the Lionesses.
After a physical first half ended goalless, Ella Toone gave England the lead with a moment of beauty, neatly chipping the ball over German goalkeeper Merle Frohm.
But Germany equalized through Lina Magull to take the final to extra-time, where England slowly took the upper hand. And when the German defense failed to clear the ball, Kelly was on hand to stab home and make history.
It was a scrappy goal befitting a brilliantly scrappy final, but Chloe Kelly didn’t care, as she forced the ball over the line in extra-time to make history for England at Wembley.
