Chloe Kelly's 'unnecessary' and 'cocky gesture' after scoring the winning penalty for England against Spain has been denounced by Spanish media.

The Arsenal winger confidently stepped up and dispatched the decisive spot-kick to secure victory for the Lionesses over La Roja in the final of the women's European Championship on Sunday night.

Kelly, who scored the winner in England's 2022 Euros final win over Germany, 'unnecessarily' diverted her path after smashing the ball past Cata Coll, according to Spanish outlet Dario AS.

In the commentary that accompanied a short clip of the climatic moment, published on their website, Kelly's decision to make a b-line for the England supporters in the corner was 'cocky' and uncalled-for.
