England reached the Euro 2024 final with a dramatic 2-1 injury-time win against the Netherlands in Dortmund on Wednesday evening to send the country into their first major final on foreign soil.
Captain Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot after Xavi Simons' early stunning effort.
Ollie Watkins, who came on as a substitute for Kane late in the second half, rifled home a pinpoint 91st-minute finish to lift the roof of the Westfalenstadion.
England will now meet Spain at Berlin's Olimpiastadion on Sunday, with pubs around the country set to be jam packed by fans hoping the team can win their first major trophy since the dramatic 1966 World Cup win.
Express.co.uk asked its readers whether they believe Monday should be a Bank Holiday to allow England fans time to recover from what is sure to be an emotionally intense match.
While the Dutch took an early lead after just seven minutes, the Three Lions' heroic performance saw them reach the final in dramatic circumstances.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live after the match, a delighted England manager Gareth Southgate said: "Very special night and hopefully very special for everyone at home. I thought our performance was really good.
"You knew with the Netherlands they have more quality so they can punish you like they did, but there's more opportunity to play. Our midfield players, Foden especially, were key finding space and they had to keep changing what they were doing.
"Bukayo did an immense job. He started as a wing-back and he defended as a winger at times - it was one of those nights that everyone had to be flexible."

When asked about facing Spain in the final, he added: "There's one more game to make history. That's what we're excited about. It's been a tough journey but there's one more. 90 minutes, 120, penalties, whatever it takes we'll be there. I'm looking forward to it."
