How Spain beat England to win Euro 2024 thanks to Mikel Oyarzabal’s late winning goal

England’s long wait for a first major men’s trophy since 1966 goes on after substitute Mikel Oyarzabal struck at the death to win the 2024 European Championship for Spain.

After a tense opening half the excellent Nico Williams gave Spain the lead seconds after the half-time interval, only for Cole Palmer to level the score with a fine strike from range.

But Spain, the better team throughout, won the title when Mikel Oyarzabal slid home Marc Cucurella’s cross with just minutes of the game remaining.

It is the second successive European Championship final defeat England have suffered and the fourth time Spain have lifted the Henri Delaunay Cup.
