Roy Keane left fans in stitches with his reaction to Ollie Watkins' dramatic winner for England against the Netherlands.

England booked their place in the final of Euro 2024 with a narrow 2-1 victory over the Dutch in Dortmund on Wednesday night.

It had looked like it could be a disappointing night for Gareth Southgate's side when Xavi Simons fired the Netherlands in front with a spectacular goal early on.

But those early nerves were settled when Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot after a controversial decision to award it from German referee Felix Zwayer.

With the match seemingly heading for extra-time, Ollie Watkins came off the bench to score in the final minute of normal time – sending England through to Sunday's final, where they will face in-form Spain.

Footage has since circulated on social media of the ITV studio's reaction to Watkins' late goal, and it makes for hilarious viewing.

In the clip, Gary Neville and Ian Wright can be seen nervously watching a TV screen.

Keane then prophetically says: "There's a goal coming here. That little touch…"

Neville and Wright then jump up in unison with the former Manchester United man screaming: "Oh my god. F***ing hell! Wow."

"What a substitution," adds Wright.

The camera then pans to Keane, who has stood motionless throughout his fellow pundits' celebrations, before he calmly says: "Offside?"

Keane then adds: "[Declan] Rice got lucky there."

Fans were quick to comment on former Republic of Ireland international Keane's lack of reaction to England's winner.

"Roy being casual as ever. Legend," wrote one fan on X.

"Keane knew the goal was coming with the touch… vision at its finest," added another.

While a third joked: "Keane's fuming."

England will now prepare to face Spain, who beat France in their semi-final to reach Sunday's showpiece event in Berlin.

The Three Lions have the chance to win their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup, having lost out on penalties to Italy in the previous Euros final at Wembley.
