England's luck hasn't run out yet in women's Euro. After a quarter-final knockout saved in "the worst penalty shootout ever", with England coming from behind when they were 2-0 down with 11 minutes to go, their semi-final win over Italy was even more dramatic and unlikely.
Michelle Agyemang, the teenager from Brighton & Hove Albion, scored in the last grasp of regular time, in the 96th minute, to send the match to added time. And then, Chloe Kelly scored in the rebound of a penalty just one minute before a shootout to end the match 2-1, and eliminate the incredulous Italian team.
27-year-old Kelly, European Champion with Arsenal, described the match as a "movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat". "They make me so proud to be English. The togetherness of this group is so special."
Lucy Bronze also used a fun metaphor: "It was just a rollercoaster of emotions, trying to stay focused in the 120 minutes to make sure we didn't let Italy back into the game". England has now reached three finals in a row under manager Sarina Wiegman, and will defend their Euro title against Germany or Spain on Sunday.
