England suffer Euro 2024 heartbreak as Spain strike at the death to win final

England suffered European Championship heartbreak once again as Spain striked late to condemn the Three Lions to another devastating defeat in a major final. Substitute Mikel Oyarzabal managed to remain onside to convert four minutes from full-time.

Nico Williams – one of Spain’s breakout performers at the tournament – gave La Roja the lead minutes into the second half when he smartly finished in the bottom corner from a perfectly-weighted pass from the team’s other emerging star, freshly turned 17-year-old Lamine Yamal.

England equalized midway through the second half through a brilliantly placed left-footed effort from Cole Palmer from outside the box to restore parity at the Olympiastadion in the German capital.

But with just under five minutes remaining in regulation time, Spain took a late lead when Mikel Oyarzabal tapped home to cap off a victory and a terrific tournament for La Roja.
