Fan footage has captured an unseen moment after Ollie Watkins’ dramatic winner for England against the Netherlands.

England booked their place in a second consecutive European Championship final, after dramatically beating the Netherlands 2-1 on Wednesday.

Harry Kane’s penalty cancelled out Xavi Simons’ early opener, before Ollie Watkins rifled a 90th-minute strike through Stefan de Vrij’s legs, past Bart Verbruggen and into the bottom corner.

Watkins’ goal sparked wild scenes of celebrations on the pitch and across the country. Indeed, the Aston Villa star, visibly stunned, wheeled away in celebration before being embraced by his jubilant team-mates.

Moreover, fresh fan footage, which you can watch below, shows that amid the celebration Bukayo Saka gathered the ball, ran towards the halfway line where his team-mates were celebrating and jubilantly launched a volley into the stands.

After the game, Gareth Southgate labelled his second Euros final, and England men’s first major final in history away from English soil, as his best achievement.

He said: "This has to be the best [achievement]. It's another landmark, but the way we played, we played so well throughout the game. It was a complicated game, they kept changing, and we had to respond. We caused them problems all night and the end is so special for the squad.

"The most important thing is that the whole squad are ready to come into the game. We spend a lot of time with those guys [the substitutes], and I'm so chuffed for Ollie.

"We felt, energy-wise, we were starting to lose some pressure [in the second half]. Ollie can press well and make those runs in behind. We thought it was a good moment to try him.

"We deserved to win. We were very fluid in our formation, it wasn't just a back three, we had to adapt all the time and the players made so many good decisions."
