England forward Michelle Agyemang, speaking to BBC Sport about what Sarina Wiegman said to her before she came on: "I don’t know what she said to be honest with you. I think we were all caught in the moment and we just wanted to go and change the game. And with the help of the subs and the girls on the pitch we did that and I’m so happy."
On how she keeps making an impact: "I don’t know. It’s by the grace of God. I’m so grateful and I thank God for the opportunity to be here. We are doing wonders as a team and I am so proud that I can say I’m a part of this team."

What I enjoyed the most from Michelle Agyemang today was that when the game went into extra time she led the line really well. Her hold up play was really good, the chance creation was really good and she looked very much at ease.
She's 19-years-old in a European Championship semi-final and she played like she had been there tonnes of times like some of her team-mates.
She is an absolute star.

England forward Michelle Agyemang, speaking to BBC Sport about her crucial late equaliser: "It’s funny because I was supposed to be at the back post. That was actually an instruction to be at the back post...
"But you know I was hanging around the edge [of the box] and fortunately the ball fell to me and it went through a couple of bodies. I don’t care how it goes in as long as it goes in, so I’m grateful for that. That's it really!"

After a horrible few days, Jess Carter came on as a late substitute to help get England over the line.
Carter, who has been subjected to social media abuse, came on in the 121st minute and was on the pitch for three minutes and 45 seconds.

England midfielder Ella Toone speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live on England's game-changers Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly:
"Michelle deserves that, she’s been a star coming on and changing the game. It’s an amazing feeling for her.
"Chloe is another game changer who has come on a few times this tournament. We are very confident when Chloe comes on and takes a penalty. She took it off my toes, I was almost there!"

On why Sarina Wiegman leaves it late to make substitutions:
"I don't think she knows herself. Obviously she's watching the game and talking with her technical staff. She's waiting for something to happen, she wants it to happen with players on the pitch.
"We need that chaos and drama. we need something different, a momentum change, a personnel change. That's when she puts on a number of subs, they made a huge impact."
Would the margins have been so fine if Kelly and Agyemang had come on earlier?
"I don't know, because Italy still had lots of energy and were still compact. I don't know in that moment if we could have created chaos and the chances. Could we have sustained that for a significant amount of time? It's like we bring them on for 15 minutes and it's all guns blazing."

England midfielder Ella Toone, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live:
"The final is going to be tough no matter what, it’s a final. People put on big performances in finals, that's what we are going to have to do. We’re excited about it. We need to recover again from 120 minutes. But we are over the moon."
Will you celebrate tonight?

On impact from the bench yet again: "You don't win a tournament with 11 players, you just don't. Or even 13, 14 or 15. You win it with 23 - every player on this team plays their role down to a tee.
"Those girls deserve the spotlight and we will give them their flowers because they turned up and they did it. I am so proud of them, so happy to call all three of them my team-mates, at club and country. Every single person, every little cog in the wheel - I am so proud of these moments because I know the work we do that you guys don't see."

Michelle Agyemang - I think she is just a special, special player, a special human being.
She nearly got the winner - her technique and composure, when she lobbed the goalkeeper and hit the bar, she’s special. She plays beyond her years, the way she holds the ball up, brings others into play.
Her composure, the way she used the touch to create space and her finish. She’s been absolutely phenomenal, what she’s done with limited minutes, she’s turned England’s history on its head and helped them reach another final.

Image source, Getty ImagesEngland make incredible comeback as Kelly and Agyemang star
Reigning champions England produced yet another remarkable comeback to reach the Euro 2025 final with a last-gasp victory over Italy in extra time.
Teenage striker Michelle Agyemang kept England in the tournament when she came off the bench to equalise in the 96th minute of normal time.
And, with a minute left in the extra period, fellow substitute Chloe Kelly drilled home the rebound after her penalty was saved to send a delirious England into the final.
It was a thrilling ending to another dramatic evening in Switzerland as England's substitutes stole the show once again and Sarina Wiegman's side refused to give up the defence of their title.
Agyemang's fairytale story continues as the 19-year-old scored her second goal of the tournament - both from the bench - drilling the ball past goalkeeper Laura Giuliani with precision and composure.
Barbara Bonansea put Italy ahead in the first half, before Wiegman turned to her trusted bench for inspiration and they delivered.
Wiegman will attempt to win an incredible third straight Euros title as a manager, while her England side are into a third successive major final - and they have taken the scenic route to get there.
They will play the winner of Wednesday's semi-final tie between Euro 2022 runners-up Germany and world champions Spain in Basel on Sunday at 17:00 BST.
Chloe Kelly reacts after her extra-time goal secures semi-final victory
England's lives appear to be infinite.
They were 2-0 down against Sweden in the quarter-finals, written off following their defeat in the opening game by France, and heading out of Euro 2025 in the 95th minute against Italy.
But their substitutes have delivered throughout the tournament and it was Agyemang who inspired the comeback, and Kelly who completed it.
Kelly, the hero who scored the winner in extra time of the Euro 2022 final, has got a knack of producing key moments for England and it is no wonder she is trusted by Wiegman to come on and deliver when needed to.
Meanwhile, Agyemang has exploded on to the international scene having only made her senior debut in April but she already has three goals in four caps and is quickly becoming a fan favourite.
England's resilience will undoubtedly be talked about in the build-up to Sunday's final, along with their considerable squad depth, but they were fortunate yet again.
They will not want to do it the hard way again, knowing the world's elite are up next with either Germany or Spain providing the toughest of tests.
Reaction to Agyemang's 95th minute equaliser
Italy were underdogs coming into the match, sitting eight places below England in the world rankings, and competing in their first semi-final since 1997.
They knew that England had shown inconsistencies but were still regarded as one of the pre-tournament favourites.
Italy manager Andrea Soncin was bullish in his pre-match media conference, stressing his side were capable of competing with the best and they almost proved it in Geneva.
Soncin and his staff were on the pitch celebrating when Bonansea scored, lifting each other into the air and grabbing those around them in ecstasy.
But as England's changes off the bench came and Wiegman switched things up tactically, Italy struggled to hold them off any longer.
It was a devastating way for the Italians to exit the competition but they can leave with their heads held high, having produced their greatest result at a Euros in 18 years.
Agyemang scores equaliser in final minutes to send England to extra time
The undisputed star of the show was 19-year-old Agyemang as she delivered the goods once again, and made Europe's biggest stage look like her playground.
The Arsenal forward, who spent last season on loan at Brighton, was a ball girl at Wembley four years ago - now she has played a vital part in helping her country reach a Euros final.
Once again, Kelly proved why she is one of Wiegman's most valuable players and England defender Esme Morgan impressed after coming into the side as a replacement for Jess Carter.
Agyemang is the first teenager to score twice at a Euros since Cecilie Pedersen for Norway in 2009.
Kelly's winning strike in the 119th minute was the latest goal ever scored at the women's Euros.
Lucy Bronze played in her 35th major tournament match, moving level with ex-midfielder Jill Scott as the Lionesses' all-time appearance holders at Euros or World Cups.
Italy scored with their first shot on target and their first touch inside England's penalty box.
