The Netherlands had scored a brilliant early goal through Xavi Simons, before Harry Kane equalised after a controversial VAR call.

But Watkins was the hero, firing in a brilliant winner having come on as a late sub for Harry Kane.

It is the first time England has reached a final on foreign soil.

They have only appeared in the Euros final once before in the delayed 2020 championships in the UK.

The team lost on penalties to Italy at Wembley stadium.

ENGLAND began their Euros final campaign in Germany on June 16.

But that’s all behind them now as they prepare to take on Spain in the final on July 14.

Here’s their route to the final:

June 16– vs Serbia: England win 1-0 with a goal from Jude Bellingham in the 13th minute.

June 20– vs Denmark: Ended 1-1 after Harry Kane’s 18th minute strike was cancelled out by Morten Hjulmand.

June 25– vs Slovenia: The match ended goalless but England topped the group with five points.

June 30– vs Slovakia: In the last 16 clash Jude Bellingham saved England from being knocked out with a 91st minute equaliser. In extra time Harry Kane secured the win for the Three Lions.

July 6– vs Switzerland: The quarter-final ended 1-1 after extra time with Bukayo Saka‘s reply to Breel Embolo’s strike. England won 5-3 on penalties.

July 10– vs Netherlands: Another last gasp goal– this time by Ollie Watkins– saw England head into the final against Spain. Harry Kane scored from the spot to cancel out Xavi Simons’ 9th minute goal.

July 14– vs Spain: England are in their first final on foreign soil and will be hoping to see off the challenge of Spain who won the Euros in 1964, 2008 and 2012.
