A record crowd of 87,192 for a European Championship final -- men's or women's -- watched as Chloe Kelly's first international goal fired the Lionesses to victory over the eight-time winner.After three defeats at the final hurdle, goals from Kelly and Ella Toone canceled out Lina Magull's equalizer and sealed the dream ending to a stunning tournament run. A swashbuckling road to the final included a Euro-record 22 goals scored and just two conceded, an 8-0 demolition of world No.
With the surrounding area of the ground teeming with fans and flags several hours before kick-off, it was a fitting build-up to the close of a tournament that had smashed records well before the trophy had been lifted.The total of 487,683 fans that had attended the games preceding the final more than doubled the previous tournament attendance record set at Euro 2017 in the Netherlands.
