England beat Germany in extra time of the European Championship final at Wembley — in doing so, breaking a number of long-standing records.
Substitutes Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly were the Lionesses’ heroines at the national stadium.
Manchester United star Toone gave England the lead in the 62nd minute before Lina Magull levelled 10 minutes from time.
With 10 minutes of extra time remaining, Manchester City winger Kelly got the all-important goal for Sarina Wiegman’s side.
Here are some of the best stats and facts as the Lionesses clinched their first major international tournament.
Did you know?
By winning at Wembley, England have become just the fifth nation to win the Women’s European Championship after Sweden, Germany, Norway and Netherlands.
England boss Wiegman has become the first manager to win the European Championship with two different nations — both as hosts.
Furthermore, Wiegman has won all 12 of the games she has overseen at the Euros.
England’s total of 22 goals at these Euros is the most of any team — men’s or women’s — at a single European Championship.
Wiegman named the same starting XI in all six of England’s games at this tournament. No nation has ever named an unchanged side in as many consecutive games at a men’s or women’s European Championship.
England had eight efforts on target in the final, the most Germany have ever faced in a single fixture at the Euros, since records began in 2013.
Seven of England’s 22 goals at this Championship were scored by substitutes. Only Germany (8) in 2009 have scored more from the bench previously.
England goalscorers Toone and Kelly became the sixth and seventh different substitutes to score in the final of a Women’s European Championship final — all seven have been on the winning side.
There were 87,192 spectators at Wembley — the most for a men’s or women’s European Championship final ever.
Germany have reached 69% of all the Women’s European Championship finals but this is the first time Die Nationalelf have lost one.
