England have made it through to the final of a major tournament on foreign soil for the first time.

They beat The Netherlands in the semi-final of Euro 24 thanks to a very late goal from Ollie Watkins.

Harry Kane’s spot-kick cancelled out a superb Xavi Simons opener before Watkins stepped off the bench and wrote his name into the history books by sealing a 2-1 triumph in the 90th minute.

No English men’s team has made it to a major final on foreign soil before and now they have the chance to become European champions for the first time this weekend.

Gareth Southgate's side made it to the semi finals after a dramatic night against Switzerland when the game went to penalties.

England will face Spain in the final on Sunday at 8pm.
