Chloe Kelly's extra-time strike sealed a historic first tournament success for England's women as the Lionesses beat Germany to claim the Euro 2022 title at Wembley on Sunday.

Kelly pounced on a rebound and poked the ball into the net from close range at the second time of asking following a corner to put England 2-1 ahead with 10 minutes left.

Germany had lost top scorer Alexandra Popp moments before the match as the striker suffered a problem in the warm-up, but the eight-time champions competed as they always do and the match looked to be heading to penalties until Kelly's strike in extra time.
