The Lionesses created history by winning their first major women’s tournament.
Sarina Wiegman’s side beat eight-time champions Germany in extra time at Wembley in front of a 87,192 record crowd.
England lifted the trophy 56 years after England’s men beat West Germany in the 1966 World Cup — which was the only previous major trophy won by a men’s or women’s England senior team.
And forward Beth Mead was integral having scooped the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer with six goals and five assists.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Odds on Euro 2022 Golden Boot winner Beth Mead to win the 2022 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award have been slashed to 4/11 from 11/4 as England won a first ever European Championship title by beating Germany 2-1 on Sunday.
“Mead’s England team-mate, Leah Williamson, is 10/1, with Ronnie O’Sullivan, to receive the prestigious prize.”
She now leads England captain Leah Williamson (10/1) and previous frontrunner Ronnie O’Sullivan (10/1), who claimed a record-equalling seventh World Championship title in Sheffield earlier this year.
Jake Wightman rocketed into contention at 8/1 before drifting to 25/1 after taking 1500m gold at the World Championships in Oregon.
Tottenham talisman Harry Kane is available at 14/1, followed by Tyson Fury at 25s.
England’s Matt Fitzpatrick (33/1) fought off competition from Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris to claim his first major title with a one-shot victory in the US Open at Brookline.
He became just the third Englishman in 52 years to win golf’s second oldest major.
