England into Euro 2025 semi-finals after shootout win over Sweden

Lucy Bronze fired home the winning penalty to book England a place in the Euro 2025 semi-finals with a dramatic shootout victory over Sweden.

Bronze’s successful kick, coupled with Smilla Holmberg’s miss, earned the Lionesses a 3-2 win on penalties after they had staged a stirring late fightback to snatch a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes.

An early mistake allowed Kosovare Asllani to fire Sweden into a second-minute lead, assisted by Arsenal striker Stina Blackstenius, who doubled the advantage in the 25th minute.

“Beautiful chaos!”
