Newcastle's Central Park to become England Fan Zone as Lionesses make Euros final

There will be plenty of support for England's Lionesses in Newcastle on Sunday as huge beer garden Central Park becomes a Fan Zone for the Euros final on Sunday.

The whole country was behind the team as they took on Sweden in the crunch semi-final on Tuesday night. After a nervy start, tournament top scorer Beth Mead put England ahead with a sweet strike before half time. Things got even better for the home team after the break, when Lucy Bronze headed in a second, before a sublime bit of skill from Alessia Russo saw her find the net with a cheeky back heel.

The victory was sealed by a chip from Fran Kirby, with the final whistle sparking wild celebrations from the players and fans in the stand as everyone joined in a mass sing along to adopted England anthem Sweet Caroline.
