Alessia Russo reading Germany tactics note helped highlight England Women's sneaky side

England used all the tools at their disposal to beat Germany in the European Championship final, including a couple of occasions where they employed some dark arts.

Ella Toone's second-half goal had put Sarina Wiegman 's Lionesses on the verge of victory, only for Lina Magull to send the game to extra-time with a late equaliser. However, Toone's fellow substitute Chloe Kelly made the difference in the added period, poking home the decisive goal.

While the goals and the big goalkeeping display from Mary Earps caught the eye, those weren't the only highlights. The smart game management also helped England seal the deal, while there was plenty of love for another substitute, Alessia Russo, attempting to sneak a look at Germany's tactics during the game.
