Kelly was understandably ecstatic after coming back from behind thanks to Alessia Russo's header, which forced the match to extra time and, eventually, a penalty shootout victory.
But her emotions got the better of her in a post-match interview on the pitch, with her X-rated choice of language forcing ITV to cut away and apologise to audiences.
Kelly said: "This team is made of magic and it's made of steel.
"When we were down against Sweden, when we were down against Italy

"You can't write the English off!"
Kelly scored the deciding penalty of the shootout after deploying her signature hop run up before firing the ball into the roof of the net.
The pressure of any tournament deciding penalty is huge, but all the more so for Kelly, who saw her penalty against Italy saved earlier in the week, before following it in to tap home the rebound.

Kelly's heroics were supported by those of 24-year-old stopper Hannah Hampton, who made two saves to keep the Lionesses in contention.
The title win makes them the first England team, male or female, to win a major international tournament on foreign soil.
It also marked three straight Euros titles for manager Wiegman, with the last tournament not won by the Dutch tactician taking place in 2013.
Kelly added: "[We are] History makers once again with an unbelievable manager behind us.
"Unbelievable team behind us in the staff members, every single one of them.
"And the fans, they've been incredible the whole tournament.
"I'm so proud to be English."
After initially cutting her off, the broadcast did return to Kelly for one last comment.
Kelly signed off with an inspiring statement to the next generation of football stars.
She said: "Every girl out there with that dream - you can do it, keep shooting for the stars."

'I squared up to Thierry Henry – the Arsenal dressing room had a fight every day'
David Bentley emerged at Arsenal as an exciting young talent in the early 2000s and witnessed the peak of one of English football's greatest ever sides that went on to become invincible David Bentley has revealed he once squared up to Thierry Henry during one of Arsenal 's training sessions. Arsenal, under Arsene Wenger in the early noughties, matched Manchester United as the most dominant team in England. Their wealth of attacking talent at the time, which included Henry, Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg and Dennis Bergkamp, meant they won the Premier League in 2001/02 and 2003/04, along with three FA Cups between 2002 and 2005. Equally crucial to their success was their grit, aggression and strong mentality, which often spilled over and resulted in clashes on the pitch. That was clear on matchdays as the Gunners racked up 33 red cards between 2000 and 2005. But, according to several Arsenal legends in recent years, training sessions at London Colney were just as vicious, if not more heated, than games against rivals. Bentley was an academy graduate who had not long been promoted to the first team, meaning he witnessed firsthand the good and the bad among one of English football's greatest ever squads. Speaking on Undr The Cosh, the former winger recalled the carnage he witnessed as a teenager during training, including some of his own altercations with club superstar Henry and team captain Patrick Vieira. Bentley began by saying: 'Every day [there] was a fight. "You talk about personalities. No chance. You've got Ray Parlour - loves it, lunatic, beautiful man. Then you've got Martin Keown, Dennis Bergkamp's an animal - he'd kick the c**p out of everyone. 'Giovanni van Bronckhorst - I used to come up against him and I'd come away with black eyes and bloodied eyes, he used to elbow the life out of me. Fights. Pascal Cygan against Kolo Toure was the best fight I've ever seen on the training ground. Two animals going at each other. To try to break them up we needed the whole team. Vieira stamping on me.' Bentley described the shocking moment he offered to fight star player Henry, considered at the time to be one of the best players in the world, before stating his Arsenal team-mates were more invested in winning small-sided training ground matches than weekend games - such was the quality within the squad. Bentley, who later joined rivals Tottenham, said: 'I squared up to Thierry Henry, ripped off my gloves, 'Come on, let's have it.' What they did - Wenger, [assistant manager] Pat Rice and the coaching staff - was put on seven-a-sides everyday. 'The dressing room was more concerned about winning the seven-aside tournaments than the game on Saturday. It was hell for leather and it was just slide tackles and fighting. Especially in the last game, that's where I squared up to Thierry, bless him. I would have got a good hiding as well!' He went on to say: 'I gave it a bit of banter with Martin Keown too, I scored a header against him and said, 'Martin, you're getting a bit old now, aren't you son?' Worst thing I could have done. The ball then came in and I was shielding it, he grabbed me by the neck and threw me from behind. My shirt ripped and I'm going, 'Gaffer! Pat!' and they'd say, 'Get on with it!'' Bentley then shed light on an incident during a training camp in Austria where he sat in Vieira's seat during breakfast and refused to let the Arsenal skipper have it back. His bold move earned the respect of the Frenchman, but he admitted that it meant he was not invited to team outings and was 'snapped' by Vieira every training session for a few months. Bentley was sent out on loan to Norwich City in 2004/05 and, desiring more regular football, joined Blackburn Rovers in August 2005, with the move becoming permanent in January 2006. Despite the regular bust-ups, Bentley insists that such needle was the 'key ingredient' in Arsenal going unbeaten in the 2003/04 season.

Girl who Love Island's Ben AND Tommy both cheated with on the same night revealed as TV star
THE girl who Love Islanders Ben Holbrough and Tommy Bradley cheated on their partners with is an ITV reality star, say insiders. Last night, the axed stars left Maya Jama open-mouthed in shock as they both admitted snogging the same person at a boozy celeb party. 8 8 8 8 Outing the cheaters, Ben's now ex Andrada Pop told the Aftersun audience: 'It was the same girl!' Tommy, who left the villa with Lucy Quinn, head in his hands and admitted he acted "disrespectfully", telling Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog. The Sun can reveal that both Ben and Tommy kissed Towie star Dani Imbert that night. 'Dani spent ages chatting to Ben at the event and they did share a snog,' an eyewitness tells The Sun. 'But then later in the night when everyone had hit the free bar, she ended up kissing Tommy too. 'As far as she was concerned they were both single - and so is she!' Dani's rep had no comment when contacted by The Sun. The next day it was revealed that Tommy had split from Lucy, who he left the villa with after a shock dumping. Speaking on Aftersun last night he vowed to stay friends with her, saying xxxx But it sounds like Ben's ex Andrada isn't keen on staying friends with him. Love Island Andrada Pop opens up on villa experience She also turned on him during the penultimate episode when the axed Islanders returned to the villa to send one couple home before the final. The taxi driver, 23, and the nail technician, 27, vowed to give their romance a go on the outside after they were dumped from the villa following a public vote. But just days after they gushed over each other on Love Island 's Aftersun, the pair seemed to have already called it a day. Returning to the villa, the gang voted to sent Meg and Dejon home, but before all the votes had been cast, Andrada brought some extra drama as she confronted her ex, Ben. Maya asked what had happened and Andrada revealed: "So we came outside the villa he went exclusive with me, and he was about to meet my family next week. "It took one event where I wasn't there and his head turned." Ben replied: "I wouldn't say it turned." But Andrada was having none of it, spinning her finger in the air and saying: "360 baby. Turned. Just be a man, like if you're going to do it, do it with chest and stand on it." 8 8 8 8

It was a very strong two-legged display to dump Panathinaikos out in the second qualifying round, with a solid defensive display out in Greece amidst sustained pressure. But despite all the changes in the management and behind the scenes, the same issues reared their ugly head on Saturday. As mentioned in last week's preview, the Gers squad have no issues getting up for big European nights and then find themselves struggling at points domestically. Russell Martin himself made reference to that after Saturday's game too. In truth, they were lucky to leave Fir Park with a point, despite conceding the equaliser late in the day with Motherwell proving a stern, stern test. Martin's scathing assessment of the squad after that game was telling and he absolutely needs reinforcements if they want to reach the Champions League - never mind compete at that level. Plzen overcame defeat in the first leg at home to Servette to win 3-1 in Switzerland to set up this tie. They've started with a win and a draw in the Czech top flight, so it's nothing that should concern a Rangers side IF they turn up. Plzen have also lost top midfielder Pavel Sulc this week after it was revealed he was on the verge of joining Lyon for seven million Euros. The winners of the tie will face Salzburg or Club Brugge in the play off round.

A few home truths have been dished out and you'd expect a reaction from those left in the team and those coming in for their chance. Still unconvinced by Rangers' defence, with new-boy Max Aarons looking a touch all over the place being played on the left and his fellow defenders haven't looked much better.
