England 2-1 Germany
Wembley Stadium (31 July)
The final was advertised as a battle between the competition’s two best-performing sides, but for large parts they cancelled each other out.
That was until super-sub Toone was introduced and scored the opener for the hosts with a perfect lob in the 62nd minute, but Germany did not lie down and Lina Magull set up a nervous ending when she equalised 17 minutes later.
Germany had momentum going into extra time, but this England team had shown throughout the tournament they would not be beaten easily.
The Lionesses had another substitute with a goal in her, Chloe Kelly, and she poked home a loose ball from a corner to send the raucous crowd into a frenzy with 10 minutes remaining. Kelly waited for confirmation of the goal before taking off her shirt and waving it around her head — an iconic celebration for an iconic moment.
At full-time, the familiar sound of England fans singing Sweet Caroline serenaded the players, as captain Williamson sobbed.
