The Euros final
Fans across the country celebrated a joyous win last night after the Lionesses won 3-1 on penalties in a nail-biting final against Spain.
The team made history as they became the first English side to win a major tournament on foreign soil - with the final held in Basel, Switzerland.
Despite losing 1-0 in the first half, the Lionesses fought back to settle the match at 1-1 with a 57th minute header from Alessia Russo.
They bravely held their nerve during a tense penalty shootout to win 3-1, successfully defending their 2022 title and avenging their loss to Spain in the 2023 World Cup Final.
A heroic Hampton made two stunning saves before Chloe Kelly fired home the winner.
Following the match, 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang received her award for Young Player of the Tournament while Spain's Aitana Bonmatí was awarded Best Player overall.

Why is ‘Dave from Egham' so wound up by women's football?
Barney Ronay's article, inspired by the radio rant by 'Dave from Egham' about being unable to stand women's voices talking about football and having women's football 'thrown down our throats' during Euro 2025, was refreshing and entertaining (The soundtrack of the women's Euros was happiness … and some men can't cope, 2 August). At a recent family gathering, some of the men started talking about the same thing – how there were so many women presenters and commentators talking about football and not just women's football, no, but, God forbid, men's football, and actually sport in general! What is the world coming to? How dare these women speak knowledgably in articulate sentences and joyful tones? And like 'Mrs Dave', my sister joined in and supported the patriarchal point! The conversation continued along this vein for some time, eventually arriving at the well-worn waffle about 'women can't play football as well as men and shouldn't be paid the same, blah blah blah…'Helen JohnsonNottingham I ask myself why some men are so antagonistic to women's football, why they feel it is being 'thrown down our throats', and why they can become so wound up by women's voices and generally be so misogynistic and so open about their poisonous beliefs. My guess would be that they feel jealous and under threat. Not since the heady days of women's football attracting large crowds (like Dick, Kerr Ladies, who drew a crowd of 53,000 at Goodison Park on Boxing Day 1920) has women's football been so popular. But the men were back from war, and it was time for them to have their game back. So, obligingly, the FA disallowed women from playing on affiliated pitches for half a century. In men's football, England has led the way with the formation of the Premier League, attracting players and fans from around the world – even if, internationally, we always fall at the last hurdle, or before. Then along came the women's troops, gaining attention after much ridicule and playing good football – and not rolling around on the floor and berating the referee. There are plenty of sports on TV, to watch or not. The 'Dave from Egham' types should get on with their own lives and stop being such haters – it's bad for their health. Laura FarninghamVejer de La Frontera, Spain What Barney Ronay describes as the happiness of the Euros is, to my mind, just what sport should be. The sport was competitive, exciting and skilful, but there was still a sense of proportion. It was sport, not life, and the people playing it went back to homes that were something like those of their fans. Sport is a game, chaps. You can still celebrate endeavour and skill, but just stop taking it all so seriously. The Lionesses showed us, again, that sport can be pure StreatfieldRichmond, North Yorkshire I arrived in the British Isles in 1968 and was completely mystified by the warfare between football fans. I'd support whatever team appealed at the time and could never drum up any hatred for the other side. I hadn't realised that I was watching, and enjoying, the women's football because that anger and threat of violence was missing. I would like to thank Barney Ronay for the explanation.

Raheem Sterling 'eyed by THREE Premier League clubs' after exiled Chelsea star was handed brutal snubbing as Enzo Maresca moves on
Raheem Sterling is believed to have caught the interest of three Premier League sides, with the forward all but guaranteed to make the move away from Chelsea after being frozen out by head coach Enzo Maresca. The former Manchester City star joined the Blues in the summer of 2022 after inking a £47.5million deal to move to the capital. But Sterling has struggled for form in recent seasons, finding himself on the periphery of the plans of both Mauricio Pochettino and Maresca, with the player spending last season on loan with crosstown rivals Arsenal. Despite his pursuit of a fresh start, the winger found it equally challenging to break in to Mikel Arteta 's side, scoring just one goal in his 27 appearances. Sterling is believed to have been informed by Maresca that he will not feature for the Club World Cup winners this term, and does not even have a profile or photo in the first-team section of the website. However, the 30-year-old is not without transfer options, with outlets reporting that a number of division rivals could yet battle to secure his services. Chelsea's next-door neighbours Fulham are thought to be keeping an eye on the player, along with south London side Crystal Palace, as per talkSPORT. Sterling could also see a reunion with a former Chelsea manager, with Graham Potter's West Ham believed to be rounding out the group of clubs interested in the ex-Liverpool man. The player is thought to be keen to stay in London, where he has relocated with his young family, which could make signing for any of his three potential suitors an option. Mail Sport reported last month that Sterling had been offered up to Serie A champions Napoli, but those wishes would suggest Premier League offers will be considered more seriously by the star. But Sterling's sky-high wages are believed to represent a stumbling block in the face of a move away from Stamford Bridge, with the England international reportedly earning a staggering £325,000 per week. Sterling is one of nine players that Maresca has banished from the first team, including Ben Chilwell, Alfie Gilchrist, Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Renato Veiga and David Datro Fofana. Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is on the cusp of following in the footsteps of outgoing players such as Joao Felix, Armando Broja, and Lesley Ugochukwu and inking a move away, with the former Leicester star departing for Everton after just one season in west London. But Chelsea will look to secure even more player exits before the transfer window closes at the end of the month after drafting in a raft of new recruits. The Blues have signed a number of big-name forwards including Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap, and Joao Pedro, pushing Sterling's name further out of the frame.

Douglas Luiz 'in talks over Premier League return' after nightmare year with Juventus following his £42m transfer from Aston Villa last summer
Nottingham Forest are eyeing a move for out-of-favour Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, according to a report. The former Aston Villa star is expected to be sold by the Serie A giants this summer after disappointing maiden campaign in Turin. Luiz, who has been capped 18 times by Brazil, started just three league matches following his £42.4 million transfer last summer. According to Football Italia, the 27-year-old is attracting interest from Forest, who are set for talks with his representatives this week to hash out a deal. The outlet claim that the Premier League side 'have the priority' in the race for the midfielder despite interest from another side in the English top flight as well as a Saudi Pro League side. Forest are reportedly keen to agree an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy in the region of £26m (€30m). Last month, reports claimed that Luiz failed to report for the first day of Juventus' training camp. A decision that is expected to see him punished by the Turin side. In April, he hit back at criticism he has faced after a nightmare first year. On an Instagram post, a fan replied to Luiz and questioned him on whether he had moved to Italy to post on Instagram or to play. 'I didn't come here just to post photos,' Luiz fired back. 'No one else did that, and I want things to be different. I came here with a purpose. I listened to my heart when I arrived and decided to sign. 'Now I want you to answer me: why hasn't a signing like mine played two consecutive games with this shirt? 'You can say what you want to the press later: 'Oh, Douglas is not fit.' Am I not fit? I did all the pre-season and played every game. I had just had one of the best seasons of my career, one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.' Luiz did go onto reflect on his injury issues in the lengthy reply, before he reaffirmed his commitment to Juventus. It has been a stormy year off the field for Luiz, who reportedly split from his footballer girlfriend Alisha Lehmann in May over different visions for their futures. They first began dating in 2021 before they broke up a year later and rekindled at the start of 2024. Since then, the couple had enjoyed a close relationship and both sealed a move to Italian giants Juventus during the summer window last year. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Lehmann and Luiz split some time ago and the pair are seen having different futures with Juventus, with the former expected to stay while the latter may leave. Luiz only played once during Juventus' Club World Cup campaign, which lasted four games, and that was as a second-half substitute in their first match against Emirati side Al Ain - when the Italians were already 4-0 up.
