The Lionesses have gone down in history after winning England's first major football tournament since 1966.
In front of 87,192 fans at Wembley, England Women's team beat Germany 2-1 to become champions of Europe for the first time. The historic win has changed the face of women's football, in what was described by fans as a “victory for girls across the country."
But this victory is made even more poignant in the knowledge that the last time England's men lifted a major trophy with their World Cup win back in 1966, women were banned from playing competitive football. The ban was imposed by the FA back in December 1921 at a time when women's football was flourishing across the country.
