England hero Chloe Kelly reveals inspiration behind iconic Euro 2022 final celebration

Lionesses superstar Chloe Kelly has explained why she whipped her England shirt off in celebration after scoring the Euro 2022 winner against Germany... revealing it was not an ode to Brandi Chastain.

The Manchester City star had only scored for her country once before Sunday evening's showpiece event, but picked her moment to perfection to ensure the Lionesses lifted the first major trophy in their history and the first major tournament success for England since the men's 1966 World Cup success.

A Queens Park Rangers fan as a child, Kelly confessed it was actually former Loftus Roaf fan favourite Bobby Zamora that inspired her to celebrate in such style after prodding the ball hime from close range in the 110th minute.
