Chloe Kelly opens up on coach's inspirational penalties message shortly before winner

Lionesses legend Chloe Kelly has revealed England's goalkeeper coach told her to "win it" in extra-time to avoid penalty heartbreak in the Euro 2022 final.

Kelly, 24, scored the winner in England's 2-1 triumph against Germany on Sunday to secure the country's first major women's football honour. Ella Toone opened the scoring at Wembley before Germany's Lina Magull found the net to force the game into extra-time.

England fans were fearing the worst as the game approached the 120th minute thanks to memories of yesteryear. The men's team have suffered countless penalty shootout defeats in the past, the most recent of which coming little over 12 months ago.
