England make late comeback as Agyemang and Kelly send them to the final
England are through to the Euro 2025 final following a last-minute turnaround victory against Italy on Tuesday.
Nearing the end of the match, the Lionesses were goalless to Italy, who had one goal in the first half.
That was until 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang scored at 96 minutes, moments from the final whistle, saving the team from certain defeat.
Chloe Kelly followed up with a second goal with just a minute left in extra time, delivering the Lionesses to the Euro 2025 final after another nail-biting performance.
“We’re going to make a movie some day! Well, this is a movie, my goodness, it’s unbelievable,” manager Sarina Wiegman told BBC Radio 5 Live.

The Lionesses clearly like to keep fans on their toes!
Their quarter-final match against Sweden had many similarities to their semi-final against Italy, where victory was also snatched from the jaws of defeat very late in the game.
Substitute Michelle Agyemang may be the youngest member of the squad but has shown just how much star power she has.
She only made her senior debut in April, but has scored the two spectacular tournament saving goals for the Lionesses in their matches against Sweden and Italy.
So it’s easy to see why she is quickly becoming a fan favourite!
