A stunning late goal from Watkins, who came on for Kane, sealed England's place in their second consecutive European Championship final in a dramatic night in Dortmund.
England will be facing Spain in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin on Monday after a thrilling last-minute goal from substitute Ollie Watkins secured victory over the Netherlands.
Gareth Southgate's team seemed destined for extra time for the third consecutive game, but Harry Kane's controversial first-half penalty and Xavi Simons' early strike were equalized by Watkins' decisive goal.
England dominated the first half, with Phil Foden's exceptional performance, hitting the post with a long-range effort and forcing a great save from Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.
The Netherlands took control in the second half, with Denzel Dumfries' header hitting the bar before the break, but crucial saves from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford kept England in the game.
A stunning late goal from Watkins, who came on for Kane, sealed England's place in their second consecutive European Championship final in a dramatic night in Dortmund.
This victory has put Southgate and his players just one game away from making history and ending the decades-long wait for a major trophy.
England will be competing in their first final on foreign soil since the 1966 World Cup final, with the Euro 2020 finals being held at Wembley.
Despite past disappointments, England will go into the final against Spain as underdogs, but there is a strong belief in Southgate's team that they can finally lift the trophy that has eluded them for over fifty years.
