There's something about a penalty follow-up in a European Championship semi-final...
Chloe Kelly. The calmest person on the pitch.
England will defend their European Championship title in Sunday's final. Chloe Kelly's follow-up after her initial penalty was saved in the 119th minute proves the difference against a resolute Italy. A third straight major tournament final for Sarina Wiegman's side...
Chloe Kelly loves a big moment at a Euros...
But Chloe Kelly scores on the follow-up!

Ian Wright's reaction to Arsenal forward Michelle Agyemang's late equaliser ❤️ #AFC
Michelle Agyemang's late equaliser takes England into extra-time. Where we have heard that before? The defending champions level late on to save their title defence, and force another 30 minutes in their #WEURO2025 semi-final against Italy.
