DORTMUND, Germany -- Ollie Watkins lived the dream in a split second in Dortmund, the one that all schoolkids repeat day after day in the playground. A winning goal in stoppage time, which sends your country into a major final, after coming off the bench as a substitute. Beat that.
And what a goal it was. With his back to goal and Netherlands defender Stefan de Vrij marking him tightly on the edge of the 6-yard box, Watkins received the ball from fellow substitute Cole Palmer, spun himself around and fired a low strike beyond goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to seal a 2-1 win for England in the Euro 2024 semifinal and a first major final on foreign soil for the Three Lions.
