Harry Kane: 'I'm so proud of all players and staff'

Harry Kane stressed his pride for every member of England's EURO 2024 camp after they beat the Netherlands 2-1 in Wednesday's semi-final.

The victory – secured after Ollie Watkins' dramatic 90th-minute strike – booked the Three Lions a place in Sunday's final against Spain, the men's first ever major showdown on foreign soil.

Kane scored the equaliser from the penalty spot in the first half and spoke emotionally at full-time.

He said: "History has been made, it's an amazing achievement. I'm so proud of everyone, every single player, every single member of staff, everyone. It's been a really difficult tournament and to do what we've done away from home is really special.

"There's that feeling that there's one more left and we need to get that one on Sunday.

"I think we were just the better team, especially in the first half. We had a lot of control. Even though we went behind we didn't panic. We stayed calm. Second half, there were a few tired legs out there. But overall, I thought we deserved to win the game."

Kane spared particular praise for Watkins, who replaced him in the second half and brilliantly netted the winner that prompted wild celebrations.

The skipper said: "We talk about being ready. We're a big team on being ready, everyone being ready for when it matters. You might get five minutes, one minute, but you can make a difference. You can win us the tournament. I know Ollie has been waiting, he's been patient, and what he's done out there is outstanding.

"What a finish. I'm so happy for him. He deserves it and we're going to need everyone again on Sunday."
