Our no.7 played the full 120 minutes, as the Lionesses snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Italy in the semi-final.

Michelle Agyemang’s dramatic 96th-minute equaliser sent the tie to extra time and, just as penalties looked certain, Sarina Wiegman’s side were awarded a spot-kick for a foul in the box.

Chloe Kelly converted after her initial effort was saved, sending England to Sunday’s showpiece event, against either Germany or Spain – their opponents in the Euro 2022 and 2023 World Cup finals, respectively.

“Definitely worth it [the stress]. We said when we stepped on to the pitch we would give everything and by the end be dead on our feet, and that’s what we are,” Toone told BBC Radio 5Live after the final whistle.
