Lioness Chloe Kelly on why she whipped off her England shirt after scoring winning Euros goal

England hero Chloe Kelly has explained why she took her shirt off to celebrate her winning goal against Germany in the Women's Euro final.

A Queens Park Rangers fan as a child, Kelly said it was former Loftus Roaf fan favourite Bobby Zamora that inspired her to celebrate in such style after scoring the goal in the 110th minute, winning the match for the Lionesses. Kelly, who plays for Manchester City, was a fan inside Wembley in 2014, when Zamora's strike clinched promotion to the Premier League for her beloved R's in a similar fashion to her own strike - in that it was late, dramatic and the winner - they were even scored at the same end of the stadium.

"I said to my family, the one moment that I’ve been to Wembley and it’s been brilliant – it’s the Bobby Zamora moment with QPR," Kelly told talkSPORT. "I said to my family this morning, imagine we get a Bobby Zamora moment and it’s me… and now it’s happened! Bloody hell! Unbelievable! This is what dreams are made of!"
