Fans at The Black Prince, in Abington Square, went through the motions of disappointment, sorrow, hope and then pure elation.
After just seven minutes, England were 1 – 0 down, but thanks to a Harry Kane penalty, the team went in at half time all level.
But the real hero of the day emerged in the 90th when Ollie Watkins scored a wonder goal having only been on the pitch for nine minutes.
With no extra time or penalties, England booked their spot in the Euros 2024 final by beating Netherland 2 – 1. They will now play Spain at 8pm on Sunday (July 14).
Below are photo of fans’ emotions at The Black Prince during the Euros semi-final.
