England fans 'crying' at unexpected surprise when they Google search Women's Euros

Celebrations are happening up and down the country after the England's Lionesses won their first European Championship.

Sarina Wiegman's side beat Germany 2-1 in a thrilling match that needed extra time to separate the two teams at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Sunday night.

Ella Toone broke the deadlock with an incredible lob over the keeper, but the Germans pegged us back and extended the game by 30 minutes.

Some England fans were fearing another penalty shootout, but it wasn't needed as Chloe Kelly scored her first international goal in the 110th minute to send limbs all over the place.

There were a nervy few minutes but the English heroes managed to hold on and lifted the Women's Euro 2022 trophy in front of a record-breaking crowd.

It seems that Google wants to join in the fun - as those using the search engine to find information about the game have come across an unexpected surprise.

When you search 'Women's Euros', 'Euro 2022', 'Lionesses' or 'England' on Google you are greeted with a fireworks display.

The red and white rockets explode on the screen - with some forming the cross of St. George.

Many England fans have taken to Twitter after spotting the tribute to the Lionesses, with one writing: "Fun fact: if you Google 'women's euros', it comes up with some cool England flag fireworks"

"If you type england vs germany in on google it sets fireworks off i'm crying that's so cute," added another.

A third tweeted: "I just Googled 'lionesses' and got a nice surprise. There are fireworks going on over there. That's a good touch, Google!"

"Google celebrating the England vs. Germany scoreline with fireworks. Well done @Lionesses," said a fourth.

Although it's not the first time that Google has used this animation, as it was most recently used on Saturday when Liverpool won the Community Shield.

The FA Cup-winning Reds beat Premier League champions Manchester City 3-1 at Leicester City's King Power stadium.

This led to red and green fireworks shooting up onto people's screens when they searched for the match result.

It also happened when South Africa won the Women's African Cup of Nations in July when Google users searched for their nickname, Banyana Banyana.
