Reigning champions England produced yet another remarkable comeback to reach the Euro 2025 final with a last-gasp victory over Italy in extra time.<\/p>\n

Teenage striker Michelle Agyemang kept England in the tournament when she came off the bench to equalise in the 96th minute of normal time.<\/p>\n

And, with a minute left in the extra period, fellow substitute Chloe Kelly drilled home the rebound after her penalty was saved to send a delirious England into the final.<\/p>\n

It was a thrilling ending to another dramatic evening in Switzerland as England\u2019s substitutes stole the show once again and Sarina Wiegman\u2019s side refused to give up the defence of their title.<\/p>\n

Agyemang\u2019s fairytale story continues as the 19-year-old scored her second goal of the tournament \u2013 both from the bench \u2013 drilling the ball past goalkeeper Laura Giuliani with precision and composure.<\/p>\n

Barbara Bonansea put Italy ahead in the first half, before Wiegman turned to her trusted bench for inspiration and they delivered.<\/p>\n

Wiegman will attempt to win an incredible third straight Euros title as a manager, while her England side are into a third successive major final \u2013 and they have taken the scenic route to get there.<\/p>\n

They will play the winner of Wednesday\u2019s semi-final tie between Euro 2022 runners-up Germany and world champions Spain in Basel on Sunday at 17:00 BST.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
