A German newspaper felt their national women’s team had been 'scammed' in their European Championship final defeat against England, claiming their side should have been awarded a first half penalty.
Germany were left heartbroken as Chloe Kelly's goal in the second half of extra-time sent Wembley wild as England's Lionesses celebrated their first major tournament trophy. That was after Germany's Lina Magull had cancelled out Ella Toone’s opener 11 minutes from time sending the game into extra-time.
However, the incident that left Germany aggrieved came in the 26th minute with the score goalless when a corner into the England box sparked a melee. The ball appeared to hit the hand of Lionesses captain and Arsenal defender Leah Williamson who frantically tried to clear the danger.
