Read our privacy policy Former England striker Ian Wright hailed match-winner Ollie Watkins after the substitute’s dramatic late goal secured a place in the Euro 2024 final. Neville said: “We’ve questioned whether Gareth would make the substitution, get Harry Kane off in big moments. It was well deserved.” One slice of good fortune was the award of England’s first-half penalty which allowed Kane to cancel out Xavi Simons’ stunning opener. It’s nowhere near a penalty and I don’t think there were many England players claiming for it either.” Another ex-England full-back, Lee Dixon, felt England’s victory was fully deserved.
