Watkins' Late Goal Secures Victory

In a thrilling semi-final encounter at Wembley Stadium, England secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Netherlands to book their place in the Euro 2024 final. Substitute Ollie Watkins emerged as the hero, scoring in the 90th minute to send the Three Lions into raptures.

A Tightly Contested Match

The match was evenly poised throughout, with both teams creating chances in an end-to-end contest. England took the lead through Mason Mount in the first half, but the Netherlands equalized just after the hour mark through Cody Gakpo.

As the match entered the closing stages, England pressed for the winner. Their persistence paid off when Gareth Southgate introduced Watkins in the 75th minute. The Aston Villa forward made an instant impact, creating several dangerous opportunities before finally scoring the decisive goal in the dying moments.

England's Historic Achievement

Ollie Watkins' late goal will go down in English football history. It was a moment of pure drama and elation that secured a place in the nation's hearts. England fans will now eagerly await the final, hoping to see their team lift the European Championship trophy for the first time.
