England created history in reaching a third consecutive major championship final by beating Italy 2-1 – but Sarina Wiegman’s side continue to ride their luck.Chloe Kelly came off the bench and scored a 119th minute winner to ensure the reigning champions kept their Euro 2025 hopes alive despite another lacklustre display.Kelly spared the England blushes with another dramatic and crucial goalGettyGettyThe Arsenal forward tucked home the rebound after missing her penalty deep into extra-time[/caption]Barbara Bonansea’s first half strike nearly sent the holders packing, but substitute Michelle Agyemang levelled in stoppage-time.It meant both sides had to endure another 30 minutes of action, and the Lionesses salvaged an excellent comeback right at the death.Emma Severini fouled Beth Mead and a penalty was awarded, with Arsenal star Kelly seeing her spot-kick saved, but was first to react to slot home in the follow-up.England came from behind to win for a second consecutive match, with a penalty shootout quarter-final win over Sweden last week just the start of the drama.Wiegman and co. mustered another spirited response thanks to the brilliance of Agyemang and Kelly in another match where they were second best.The Lionesses are now in a third major final in a row – the first time a senior England men’s or women’s side have achieved the feat – having only done reached finals in two of their first 13 appearances in such tournaments beforehand.talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham was in Geneva for the rollercoaster and dissected the performances from the players and manager.“Well you know the phrase back from the brink, these Lionesses are reinventing that word, brink,” he said at full-time. “They’re redefining it, we need a new term for what they’re doing at this tournament.“I mean they’re all smiles, they’re all laughing, you can understand why. “But Italy will be wondering how on earth they are out, incredible.”England are on the cusp of even more silverware – with Kelly the hero yet againGettyHe added: “They get me so frustrated, they’re so wound up, they get me so stressed out and then they go and win it and you can’t help but love them.“And you can’t help but forgive them and you can’t help but back them because yet again they’ve got to another final at a major tournament.“What a run of achievement and success from this England squad from Satina Wiegman and the players, amazing just amazing, and the backing they’ve had as well.”Durham concluded by saying: “Listen, there’s a tough task to come against Spain or Germany in the final on Sunday but, the Lionesses are there.“I’m not quite sure how they’re there, but they’re there in yet another final.”Here’s how Adrian Durham rated and slated the Lionesses…Italy were minutes away from sealing their place in the final, only for England to equalise late onAFPShaky StanwayGeorgia Stanway has a depth of experience at club and international level, but was a shadow of her normal self on Tuesday night.Durham gave her a joint-lowest rating of 3/10 with Alex Greenwood and Beth Mead amid her lack of threat in the midfield.He said of her display: “She told me she was fit the day before the game, she is not yet back to her normal brilliant self though.”Another missing sparkSimilar to Stanway, Lauren James was unable to impose herself on the match unlike past performances.The Chelsea star seemingly struggled and could only play for 45 minutes, with Durham handing her a 4/10.“Off injured at half-time, never grabbed the first half the way we know she can,” he said.Agyemang kick-started the turnaround for England in stoppage timeGetty‘We love her’England certainly didn’t make things easy and once again, Kelly was on hand to channel her world-class quality with a decisive moment.She scored the winning goal in the 2022 final against Germany and could now have pushed her country towards a second consecutive Euros title.“We said we love Chloe Kelly before this game, tonight we love her even more,” said Durham.Riding her luckWiegman has been a sensational appointment for the Lionesses, but her decision-making against Italy – just as it was against Sweden last time out – irked Durham.With England desperately seeking a way back into the match, she left her substitutions very late in the 77th and 85th minutes.Another 3/10 was submitted by Durham despite her reaching yet another final at the helm.Wiegman will manage in another final, but she will be counting her lucky starsGetty“Subs left ludicrously late again,” he said. “The luckiest coach in the world right now.”England will now watch Spain and Germany battle it out for the last spot in Sunday’s final.They play each other on Wednesday night, live on talkSPORT 2.Adrian Durham's Lionesses player
