How England reached the Euro 2022 final

England's Lionesses secured a place in the Euro 2022 final after an unforgettable competition, which has seen manager Sarina Wiegman's team impress time after time on the pitch.

They took on Germany at Wembley on Sunday night and were victorious, beating the other side 2-1, with incredible goals from Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly.

The win is the first major tournament success in Lioness history and has put the players well and truly in the spotlight.

The squad is made up of 23 fantastic women in total, but it's Leah Williamson, Mary Earps, Lucy Bronze, Rachel Daly, Kiera Walsh, Millie Bright, Beth Mead, Ellen White, Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Fran Kirby who started each Euro game.
