The Lionesses beat Spain to win Euro 2025 and make history by becoming the first English team to win major tournament on foreign soil.
Chloe Kelly was the hero, smashing home the winning penalty after Hannah Hampton had saved two of Spain’s spot-kicks.
Here, Standard Sport rates the England players’ performances at Euro 2025
Goalkeepers
Hannah Hampton 9
Made England’s No1 on the eve of the tournament and rose to the occasion. Exceptional in two penalty shootouts, while her distribution was brilliant.
Anna Moorhouse N/A
Khiara Keating N/A
Defenders
Alex Greenwood 7
Played the opening game at centre-back, but moved to left-back for the rest of the tournament. England’s left flank struggled at times before the final.
Esme Morgan 7
Parachuted into the team for the semi-finals and did well. Unlucky to lose her place for the final. Solid whenever brought on off the bench.
Jess Carter 8
Had a difficult night against Sweden and was dropped for the semi-final. Restored to the team for the final and she was a rock. Incredible character.
Leah Williamson 8
Played like she had a point to prove after missing the World Cup two years ago due to injury. Saved her best performance for the final.
Lucy Bronze 8
Somehow played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia. Summed up the spirit of the whole team and was an utter warrior throughout.
Niamh Charles 7
Came off the bench in five of the six games. Typically steady and also slotted her penalty in the final.
Lotte Wubben-Moy N/A
Maya Le Tissier N/a
Midfielders
Ella Toone 7
Did not start the first game, but came into the team after it and never lost her place. Linked up well with Russo.
Georgia Stanway 8
Managed to get herself fit in time for the tournament and performed well. Full of energy and scored twice in the group stage.
Grace Clinton 6
Felt like a contender to break into the team before the tournament started, but had to settle for a bench role. Solid.
Jess Park 6
Did not get much action, bar coming off the bench against Wales for the second half. Still only 23 and has more to offer.
Keira Walsh 7
Not as dominant as she was three years ago, with teams now targeting here, but still had a decent tournament. Vital to how England play.
Forwards
Alessia Russo 8
Excelled in the group stage and had a hat-trick of assists against the Netherlands. Form dipped in the quarter-finals and semi-final, but scored in the final.
Aggie Beever-Jones 6
Off the mark at a major tournament after finding the net during the thumping win over Wales. Lively off the bench when called upon.
Beth Mead 7
Was England’s star when they won the Euros three years ago, but had to settle for an impact role this time. Offered valuable experience off the bench.
Chloe Kelly 9
England’s game-changer and a contender for player of the tournament. Had a goal or assist in every knock game and smashed home the winning penalty in the final.
Lauren James 7
Lit up the group stage, but was unable to kick on in the knockout stages. Fitness an issue and seemed to hold her back.
Lauren Hemp 7
Tireless for England out wide and possibly covered more ground than any other player. Will be disappointed to have only scored once, though.
Michelle Agyemang 9
What can you say? Enjoyed a fairytale tournament by scoring in the quarter-finals and semi-final. Made a massive impact off the bench, despite being just 19.
