Defending champions England have advanced to the final of Euro 2025 with a dramatic 2-1 victory against Italy in extra time in Geneva. Substitute Chloe Kelly scored the winning goal in the 119th minute, setting a record for the latest goal in the history of the tournament as she slotted home her own rebound after her penalty was saved.

England are living on the brink and survived another near-inevitable elimination all the way to another Women’s European Championship final.

Reigning, defending champions England needed another dramatic comeback against Italy in the Women’s EURO 2025 semifinals on Tuesday, and Michelle Agyemang delivered another late equalizer before the Lionesses won it from the penalty spot (kind of).

Chloe Kelly fired home the rebound from her own penalty to net a 119th-minute winner as reigning champions England pulled off a stunning comeback to beat Italy 2-1 after extra time on Tuesday and reach the Women's European Championship final.

England is currently gunning for its second straight Women's Euro title, having won the 2022 tournament with another pair of extra-time wins. If Germany advances on Wednesday, it will be the same pair of teams in the final as well, but clearly nothing is going to be predictable given how some of these teams are playing.

There were tears, distress and disbelief for Italy's players after a 2-1 loss to England after extra time in the Women’s European Championship semifinals.

Lucy Bronze has said England have "nothing to prove" after reaching the Euro 2025 final and thinks opposition defenders are "petrified" of Michelle Agyemang.

By Philip O'Connor GENEVA (Reuters) -Italy were within touching distance of a first Women's Euro final since 1997 until a stunning England comeback derailed their dream, but the Italians can look forward to a bright future as they reap the benefits of a more professional approach.
