England have reached the European Championships final back-to-back with Sunday's showpiece, the first time the three Lions men's have progressed to a major tournament final.
The Three Lions were dazzling in the first half, powered by Phil Foden and Kobbie Mainoo.
They had to come from behind for the third time in the knockout stages too. A brilliant strike from Xavi Simons (7) put the Dutch ahead, although it came after Declan Rice had his pocket picked in his own half.
England's equaliser 11 minutes later came in controversial circumstances. Harry Kane took a whack to his right foot from Denzel Dumfries as he shot at goal, with the referee eventually being sent to the pitchside monitor by VAR.
The official then pointed for a penalty which Kane himself took, expertly dispatching past Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen
Jordan Pickford was needed to keep out a Virgil van Dijk effort, while half-time substitute Wout Weghorst made himself a nuisance for a tiring England defence.
But there was time for one more chance and it was a sensational finish from Watkins. He was found in the area by Palmer and turned away from Stefan de Vrij before firing home through the defender's legs and into the far corner, sending the England fans around the world into ratures.
