Gareth Southgate gave an incredibly emotional interview after England reached the final of Euro 2024.
England came from behind to beat the Netherlands 2-1 on Wednesday.
Harry Kane's penalty cancelled out Xavi Simons' opener as he levelled proceedings from the spot after a controversial VAR decision, with Denzel Dumfries having a surprise reaction to the penalty incident.
Southgate brought on Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins as they combined brilliantly for England's winner, with the Aston Villa star revealing a scarily accurate prediction during his post-match interview.

"To be able to celebrate a second final is very special. If I had not been on the grass, I would have been watching and celebrating like [the fans] were."
Southgate added: "I'm the one that has to pick a team so to be able to give them a night like tonight was very special.
"We have come here to win and play the team who have been the best in the tournament [in the final]. But we're still here and fighting."
