England's women's national football team, the Lionesses, clinched their second consecutive UEFA Women's Euro title by defeating reigning world champions Spain in a tense final that ended 1-1 after extra time and was decided by a 3-1 penalty shootout. Chloe Kelly scored the decisive penalty, while goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was named Player of the Match for her crucial saves. The victory marks the first time an England senior football team has won a major tournament on foreign soil and cements the Lionesses' status as a dominant force in women's football. Celebrations include an open-top bus parade and a visit to Downing Street, though no bank holiday is planned. The win is being hailed as a historic achievement and a testament to the team's resilience and tactical prowess.
