How the **** did we pull that off

You brought a striker on for the last 20 minutes.

[TalkSport]

Now we can dare to dream! 

[hursty2]

Love that Kane went straight over to Watkins 

[Mr Adam]

First game since Serbia we’ve won in 90 mins. And first game we’ve deserved to.

[bflaff]

Never in doubt, really. 

[aiston]

Please don't start Kane in the final.

[Smaldini]

Shut up Matterface, absolute pillock

SOUTHGATE CONTRACT EXTENSION

[SteveUK]

Keep Kane on the bench and we will win the final.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

[georginho_juventusygr]

ED SHEERAN!

[aiston]

This ref deserves the final.

[WillHoward42]

Nullified us start or second half, but fair play for Gareth making changes when he did, played it well IMO

[Wavelberry]

Ollie Watkins for saving us from extra-time. Knight him.

[Mr Adam]

Fair play to Southgate for bringing Watkins on instead of Toney as well. Would have been easy to go to Toney for the penalties but I don’t think Toney scores that goal

Just wait until we beat Spain 10-0 with Gareth finally unleashing the masterplan

Lol exactly 😂

Yeah, so much better from England today, especially in the first half.

Would imagine the final v Spain will be pretty open too, should be exciting.

I don't know what he said but I will always upvote this

[Astafjevs]

Was a great bit of quality from Watkins to win it. The only bit from the entire 2nd half, from either team

[hursty2]

Gareth and his finishers!

[metal_guitarist]

Amazing what happens when you make the right personnel decisions

He was criticising there being 4 minutes played when "only 2 were added" and just causally ignored that we scored bang on 90 and it took at least 2 minutes to start playing again. No idea if that's what was being reference but it ****ing annoyed me  

[Bliss Seeker]

**** me 

Gareth Southgate is a ****ING GENIUS and you haters can suck his MASSIVE balls.

 

[Coulthard's Jaw]

 

[Redshift]

Guys, Cole Palmer assist

If it is an compensation to you England fans. 

I had a headache before the game on Saturday and you won, and now got the same again. 

Must be a disturbance in the force. 

My heads got a knack from drama + England wins. 

I'll be sure to get one on Sunday gents.

[Pedwar Pump]

Get in! Devon’s finest and an Exeter City youth product scoring the winner!

[Mr Adam]

Just rewound it to watch again. The ball hits the net dead on 90 mins 

[Andrew_]

Back on the bench for the final.

[skybluedave]

Love you Gareth. Always have

89:59 here, which I have to admit disappoints me and I can't explain why  

[Darren Moores Mum]

****ing hell. Glad I booked Monday off before we'd even played the Swiss.

[The_jagster]

Contrast that speed of turn and shot to the likes of Havertz earlier this tournament.

Great moment, decent enough performance

[bestbrother]

Not watched much as i dislike international football, but fun to see a last minute winner at any level.

Probably bother flicking the final on, hoping for a 4-4 thriller 

[Rick87]

Arise Sir Gaz of Southgate.

[georginho_juventusygr]

I'll need to watch that goal again. It went real fast. Was Watkins a bit lucky that it went between the legs of De Vrij?

[Pukey]

Do Netherlands count for "Southgate's never beaten a top team" or nah? 

[av3ry]

I don't believe it! 

[GunmaN1905]

England's best game.

Wanted to play in the first half even before the goal, looked the most dangerous they did in the entire tournament and while second half was turgid and could've been better, still a big improvement over past two matches.

Defense still feels shaky because Dutch attack is nothing special and most situations that were in the final third looked dangerous.

Kane is the biggest issue. Not because of his potential injury, but because he doesn't want to play as a striker. He's not needed in midfield.

Netherlands did as well as they could, but missing three key midfielders was too much. The only resentment towards Koeman can be striker selection. Depay and Werghorst over Zirkzee and Brobbey is a question mark.

Still, every refereeing decision went England's way and Dutch have every right to be unhappy.

The day when the stop clock comes in would be scenes. Definition of a buzzer winning shot  

[JJ72]

Big decision for Lord Southgate for the final now because Kane is quite simply awful.

[Grumblewatcher]

What a shame, dubieus ref at the very very least. Disgraceful, **** VAR. And England is playing their games at a snail’s pace. But we we’re simply not good enough to punish them. In this way, they never gonna beat Spain.

So utterly disappointed 😢 Congrats to all English fans.

On foreign soil, so just counts for me, even if it’s an average injury ridden Dutch side.

How unfair is this? Catenaccio wins again  

More possession, more shots, more shots on target, miles more passes. By far the better team won.
