England will play Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday July 14 in what could be the biggest game for the team since 1966.

Thanks to Aston Villa player Ollie Watkins England are in the final after scoring a winning goal against the Netherlands on Wednesday. The 28-year-old scored in the ninetieth minute making the score 2-1 and avoiding the match going to the dreaded penalties. 

When the game finished the footballer was seen running over to kiss and cuddle his girlfriend Ellie Alderson and his mum. Ellie posted a sweet snap on her Instagram story with the caption: “You deserve it.”
