England fans joyous over semi-final win

There were jubilant scenes after Harry Kane's penalty and Ollie Watkins' goal put England into the final

A Shropshire pub was among thousands of venues to see joyous celebrations when Ollie Watkins scored his last-minute goal that sent England to the Euro 2024 final.

"I've been waiting for that moment for weeks," the Aston Villa striker said after the semi-final win against the Netherlands.

And so had thousands of fans, including those gathered in the White Horse pub on Wenlock Road in Shrewsbury.

"We're feeling great, we're feeling great. We're into the final on Sunday - love it," said Josh who was among those watching the game with friends at the venue.

"We called 2-1 at the start of the game and it's actually happened," Josh said.

Another man told BBC Radio Shropshire: "That was amazing. I've got to say they played really well.

"Typical England - they kept us on the edge of our seats but the last five minutes was fantastic.

"I really enjoyed it, that's all I can say, just great. And the atmosphere in here has been amazing. To see everyone happy - it's what we want as a country, just everyone celebrating the football."

Meanwhile England manager Gareth Southgate said the team had given supporters "some of the best nights in 50 years" with their recent successes.

England's performance also gave fans at the Shrewsbury pub hope for the final against Spain in Berlin on Sunday.

One fan said: "We've got chances, we'll create chances, we're going to win it."

Another was more hesitant about their chances against Spain, but thought great play would secure a win for England.

"In all honesty they're slim," he said.

"But if we play like we did tonight with a passion and desire we'll get through it, one hundred per cent."
