England Beat Italy To Reach Euros Final

Super-sub Chloe Kelly fired England into the Euro 2025 final in extra-time as the defending champions completed another spectacular comeback to beat Italy 2-1 in Geneva.

Barbara Bonansea stunned the England support into silence when she opened the scoring in the 33rd minute for the underdog Italians, who had reached their first European semi-final in 28 years.

The Lionesses, in their sixth straight major tournament final four appearance, were on the brink of elimination when 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang once again came off the bench and rescued Sarina Wiegman’s side with a second-half stoppage-time equaliser.

England were gifted a penalty late in the second period of extra-time and, though Kelly’s initial attempt was saved, the Arsenal forward made no mistake with her second opportunity when she emphatically buried the rebound.
