England’s triumphant Euro 2022 winners celebrated wildly after they defeated Germany at Wembley to win a first major trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Boss Sarina Wiegman said “it was time to party” after a historic victory for the Lionesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ella Toone gave them the lead only for Lina Magull to force extra time, before substitute Chloe Kelly scored a 110th-minute winner.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is unreal. This is what dreams are made of,” she told BBC Sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelly, who came on in the 64th minute, celebrated her first international goal by taking off her shirt and whirling it above her head.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the final whistle, the Manchester City player – who missed 11 months of action after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in May 2021 – was asked to sum up her feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Oh my God, look at them, it’s amazing,” Kelly added, before singing Sweet Caroline and then running off with the microphone.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>
Chloe Kelly’s celebration was similar to the one made famous by Brandi Chastain, who netted the winning penalty for the United States in the 1999 World Cup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She later returned and said: “Thank you to every single person. Honestly, it’s amazing. This is what dreams are made of.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s unbelievable. To be here and score the winner, these girls are special, this manager is special. This is amazing. i just want to celebrate now.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lionesses will celebrate their historic win in front of fans at <\/span>Trafalgar Square on Monday<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, an event that will be broadcast live on BBC One from 12:40 BST.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wiegman has now won back-to-back European Women’s Championships after guiding her home country the Netherlands to the title in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I don’t have any secrets,” said Wiegman, whose side won all six games at Euro 2022, scoring 22 goals and conceding two.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I don’t think I realise what’s going on – I need some time.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now we have won the Euros the expectation will go up again. First we will party.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Wiegman also hopes England’s victory will inspire a new generation of players.<\/span><\/p>\n

“During our preparation for the Euros we brought in some players who played in 1971,” she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We should always remember the ones who went before us because they made a path for us. This team makes a path for the next generation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

England’s players later gatecrashed Wiegman’s post-match news conference at Wembley, while singing the English football anthem <\/span>‘Three Lions’.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
