England cemented their place in history with a stunning penalty-shootout victory over Spain to retain their European title at Euro 2025.

Chloe Kelly, who scored the iconic winner at Wembley in the final of Euro 2022, was the hero again as she converted the decisive spot-kick to seal victory after Spain had missed three in a row, with Hannah Hampton saving two of them.
