Chloe Kelly, who scored the winner in Euro 2022, was the hero again as she converted the winning spot-kick after Hannah Hampton had saved from both Aitana Bonmati and Mariona Caldentey. This England team has defied logic for much of this tournament.

BASEL, Switzerland, July 27 (Reuters) - Chloe Kelly fired in the decisive spot-kick as England beat Spain 3-1 in a penalty shootout to win Euro 2025 on Sunday, successfully defending the title they won three years ago after an enthralling game that ended 1-1 after extra time.

After Spain missed a prime opportunity to win in extra time and missed three straight attempts in penalties, Kelly stepped up to the spot with a chance to give England its second straight Euro title. To her, the result was never in doubt. Kelly started her approach with a high leg lick and proceeded to rip her penalty beyond Cata Coll.
