The ace who scored the Champions League final winner then added another final goal to her CV with a header into the net to draw the Lionesses level just before the hour.And England were held to a stalemate before going into another round of extra time – making the Lionesses the first team to go into extra time in three different matches of a major women’s international tournament. Spain were in the ascendancy for much of the final 30 minutes, but were held at bay despite flashing the ball across the face of Hannah Hampton’s goal on more than one occasion.BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKBut Hampton – the hero against Sweden – was on hand to save two more kicks in the final before Kelly swept home the winner, three years on from when she blasted home the winner for England in the final against Germany at Euro 2022.And there were emotional scenes on the pitch as the victorious Lionesses celebrated winning the European Championship. Kelly was seen hugging team-mates and manager Wiegman all while wiping away tears.Serial winner Wiegman was also over the moon at the achievement, while safe hands Hampton had a look of disbelief with her hands on her head.Captain Leah Williamson – who missed a penalty in the shootout – was all smiles as she embraced team-mates in claiming Euros silverware for the second time.Shutterstock EditorialEDITORIAL USE ONLY No use with unauthorised audio, video, data, fixture lists, club/league logos or “live” services.
