Chelsea players show their support as England beat Germany at Wembley to win Euro 202224634466

Tributes and praise for England Women's national team continue to pour in after the Lionesses managed to overcome Germany 2-1 after extra-time at Wembley to lift the European Championship trophy. Goals from Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly secured the victory for Sarina Wiegman's side, cancelling out a well-worked equaliser from Lina Magull.

It continues an incredible run for the Dutch coach, who is now unbeaten in all 12 matches she has been in charge of in the competition, having previously won with the Netherlands in 2017. The continuation of that streak has seen the country win their first major honour since 1966, when the men's side won the World Cup, also on home soil.
