Euros 2024: Ollie Watkins’ Late Sublime Strike Against the Netherlands Fires England into Finals

The Three Lions are into the final of the Euros for the second consecutive time after beating the Netherlands through Ollie Watkins’ magical strike in the late minutes.

Despite going down early, England bounced back immediately with an equalizer and left it late to shatter the Dutch dream.

It took Simon Xavi just 7 minutes to score against England. Harry Kane responded immediately after England won a penalty, which the Bayern Munich striker converted. The first half finished level at 1-1 after several efforts from both sides.

The second half was tight as both teams had near attempts until Southgate opted to sub in the match-winner, Ollie Watkins, who scored England’s second goal through a cool Cole Palmer assist.

The grand finale will be played at the Olympiastadion, Berlin, when Spain and England lock horns on Sunday, July 14, 2024, for the coveted trophy.
