England claim Euro 2022 glory at Wembley as Chloe Kelly secures extra-time victory over Germany

England's Euro 2022 dream became reality as substitute Chloe Kelly's extra-time finish saw the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 and secure the first major trophy in their history in front of a record-breaking crowd at Wembley.

Kelly prodded the ball past Merle Frohms in the 110th minute to restore the tournament hosts' lead after fellow substitute Ella Toone's wonderful lobbed opener just after the hour mark.

Eight-time champions Germany - who had lost star forward Alexandra Popp to injury in the warm-up - equalised with 11 minutes of normal time remaining through Lina Magull, and the game looked on course for a penalty shoot-out until Kelly's effort fired Sarina Wiegman's side, who feature former Bristol City forward Lauren Hemp, to glory.
