🔁 Super Sub! The stat that shows Ollie Watkins is an unlikely hero
EURO 2024 just keeps on providing the most dramatic of moments.
After a flat second half for England, Gareth Southgate opted to bring on Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins in the 81st minute.
And what an impact they made.
Just as the match was heading to extra time – and maybe even penalties – England fired home in stoppage time.
The scorer? Ollie Watkins. The assist man? Cole Palmer.

What a time for Watkins to score his first international goal in a major tournament.
It's England's first ever final on foreign soil, and they have the Aston Villa man to thank.
