After Bukayo Saka’s shot was disqualified, Ollie Watkins, an unused substitute, scored a stunning late goal to give England victory.
England had their finest performance of the tournament thus far, and they will now play Spain in the final on Sunday in Berlin.
With roughly ten minutes remaining in the match, Gareth Southgate, the manager of the Three Lions, will take the majority of the credit for the winning goal, which was produced and scored by two of his substitutes.
Cole Palmer, the Man City star’s replacement, received the ball in midfield and passed it to Watkins on the outskirts of the area.
Watkins touched the ball once before launching it into the Dutch goal’s lower left corner.
As the match appeared to be heading into extra time, the Aston Villa striker replaced captain Harry Kane, swiftly silencing any doubters.
When questioned about his choice to substitute Kane at such a pivotal time, Southgate said at the post-match press conference: “We weren’t sure how long he would be able to play on for since Harry took quite a big knock when he won the penalty.
Although he and Phil (Foden) were playing well together, we were starting to lose some of our vigor. Phil’s performance does not warrant his dismissal; however, we do have a good team.
