Women's Euros: Where in Kent to watch England's final against Germany at Wembley

With Maidstone’s Alessia Russo creating headlines thanks to her goal-scoring heroics this week, England’s Lionesses are now one match away from making history.

Russo took centre stage in their 4-0 Women’s Euros semi-final success over Sweden as the 23-year-old scored a sensational backheel goal.

With England already 2-0 in front and, after Russo had seen an effort from close range saved by Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl, the Manchester United forward chased down the ball and produced a backheel which nutmegged the keeper for England’s third.

It was a goal from substitute Russo - her fourth of the tournament despite not actually starting in any of the matches so far - which attracted plenty of attention on social media and even managed to earn praise from former England striker Ian Wright.

Russo and co will now meet Germany in the final at Wembley on Sunday (5pm kick-off), with Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze and Fran Kirby also having been on target in the win for Sarina Wiegman’s side in their semi-final.
