Lionesses roar to Euros glory at rapturous Wembley

- KATHRYN BATTE Women’s Football Correspond­ent at Wembley

SARINA WIEGMAN told her players, ‘It’s time to party!’ after England made history yesterday by beating Germany to win the European Championsh­ip.

Chloe Kelly scored the winner in extra time to send Wembley — and millions of fans watching on TV across the country — into joyous celebratio­ns as England swept to their first major internatio­nal win since the 1966 World Cup.

All- conquering manager Wiegman said: ‘I’ve already lost my voice a bit. What we’ve done is really incredible, I don’t think I fully realise what we have done. We’ve had so much support from our fans and I’m so proud of the team.’

England’s victorious players will celebrate with their supporters in Trafalgar Square this lunchtime. The first 7,000 fans who turn up from 11am will have the opportunit­y to join the squad for a special presentati­on.
