Ollie Watkins has officially entered English football folklore with that goal as it proved to be the winner against Netherlands. England are through and they now take on the in-form Spain in the Euro 2024 final. What a game and what a result for Gareth Southgate's men.

The gamble has paid off and Ollie Watkins has scored the all important goal. A good pass from Cole Palmer but Watkins had a lot of work to do. He trapped the ball, turned and unleashed a lethal shot that crashed into the net. Surely England are through to the final!

Ollie Watkins comes in for England and he replaces the skipper Harry Kane! Massive decision by Gareth Southgate to replace Kane with the game possibly headed towards extra time.

Bukayo Saka scores for England but it is offside! The joy was shortlived as the referee's whistle sounds and the goal is disallowed. Kyle Walker made a good run down the flank and provide a great pass for Saka to tap in. However, Walker was just offiside!

There has not been any dearth of efforts but the latest one from Xavi Simons was not strong enough to bother the goalkeeper. A straightforward shot to Pickford and the game continues.

It has been a cagey affair in the second half and Jude Bellingham picks up a yellow card. A rash tackle from the youngster and he was cautioned by the referee.

Jordan Pickford has pulled off a stunning save and he keeps England in the game! It was either Van Dijk who got something from the cross but the goalkeeper was equal to the task and he pulled off the save.

With Luke Shaw on for England, the attacks have been predominantly coming from the left side. However, with Kyle Walker on the right, England will be looking to use him as a surprise attack thanks to brilliant precision and pace.

The second half is underway and once again, slow build-ups from both England and Netherlands. Both teams went for high-profile changes and it will be interesting to see how they change their style of gameplay.

Both teams have gone for substitutions and this is getting interesting! Weghorst comes on for Netherlands in place of Malen while Luke Shaw makes his long awaited return for England.

France midfielder Khephren Thuram has joined Juventus from Ligue 1 outfit Nice on a five-year 20 million euro deal, the Serie A side announced on Wednesday. Thuram, 23, is following in the footsteps of his father, Lilian, the former France international defender who played for Juventus from 2001 to 2006.

It is half-time and the scoreline reads Netherlands 1-1 England. Both teams had multiple chances to score but the finishing let them down on most occasions. The second half will hold huge importance in their journey to the Euro 2024 final and considering the record of these two sides, we may need extra time and even penalties to get a winner.

This has been a half that had it all. Goals, penalty, goal-line saves and many more. Both teams came very close to taking the lead once again. However, the struggle contintues.

Both teams hit the bar within 5 minutes. Dumfries leapt the highest during a corner to head the ball goalwards but it crashed into the bar. Minutes later, Phil Foden had the perfect opportunity outside the box but the ball once again curled and hit the post before bouncing out of the field.

Phil Foden with a massive chance and it was almost the second goal for England. However, Dumfries had the perfect position and he cleared the ball from the line to keep Netherlands in the game. What a comeback!

Harry Kane makes no mistake from the penalty spot and England are 1-1. A controversial penalty but Kane will not be complaining as he gets a good goal and England will now look to capitalise on this momentum.

Penalty for England and it is a yellow card for Dumfries! Huge chance for England!

England fight back and it is Harry Kane with a couple of decent chances to get the equaliser. However, on both occasions, the shots were just not good enough and it flew way over the goal.

Xavi Simons scores and Netherlands have taken the lead! A rocket of a shot from the youngster and the Dutch are off to a perfect start. Netherlands won back the ball brilliantly but it was the finish that truly left Pickford completely stunned.

Both teams are not rushing their movement but it is quite clear that Netherlands are the faster lot. Malen once again with a chance but he was cut off by two defenders and score remains 0-0.

Harry Kane plays it back to Pickford and we are underway. Both teams have been slow in build up but the first goal will hold a huge importance in the course of this encounter. Malen with an early attack but it ends in an offside call.

England and Netherlands are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthems. We are just minutes away from the start of this exciting encounter. A spot in the Euro 2024 final on the line for both of these teams.

Wout Weghorst again has to wait for his opportunity from the bench despite his significant impact as a substitute throughout the tournament.

Netherlands make one change from their 2-1 quarter-final win over Turkey. Ajax winger Steven Bergwijn is replaced by Donyell Malen, who plays his club football for Borussia Dortmund, on the right side of the attack.

Captain Harry Kane retains his place up front despite a series of laboured displays in Germany with Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden supporting him in attack.

England manager Gareth Southgate made just one change for the Three Lions' Euro 2024 semi-final on Wednesday against the Netherlands as Marc Guehi returned from suspension in place of Ezri Konsa. Southgate resisted the temptation to hand Luke Shaw his first start since February after the Manchester United left-back made his first appearance at the tournament in a quarter-final win over Switzerland on penalties.

Netherlands boast one of the form attacking players in the tournament in Cody Gakpo, who is looking to move out in front in the race for the Golden Boot by adding to his three goals so far. They have had to wait 36 years since their own sole major tournament triumph -- which came the last time the Euros were held in Germany. But their preparations for the game were disrupted by issues with the German train system, which has caused chaos for fans throughout the tournament.

Netherlands also had their troubles in the group stages as a 3-2 defeat to Austria saw them sneak through as one of the best third-placed sides. Ronald Koeman's men have since found their groove in a 3-0 win over Romania in the last 16 before battling back to beat Turkey 2-1 in the last eight.

Harry Kane has scored two of England's five goals at the tournament but has looked physically restricted after missing the end of the club season with a back injury. Kane's lacklustre performances have been symptomatic of England's struggles as a team. Twice they have stared down a humiliating early exit only to fight back against Slovakia and Switzerland thanks to individual moments of magic from Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka.

The winners of the match between England and Netherlands will face Spain in Berlin on Sunday after they came from behind to beat France 2-1 on Tuesday.

England are aiming to reach the final of a major tournament on foreign soil for the first time and take a step closer to ending a 58-year wait to win a major tournament.

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the Euro 2024 semifinal clash between Netherlands and England. Both teams had a topsy turvy journey in the competition but Netherlands have bounced back quite brilliantly in the knockout stages.
