Everton manager Frank Lampard and a couple of his English players have sent their congratulations to the England women’s team after last night’s European Championship win.
The Lionesses ended a home tournament with the ultimate glory, beating Germany at Wembley thanks to Chloe Kelly’s extra-time winner. The final whistle brought with it jubilant scenes up and down the country, with Sarina Wiegman’s team inspiring the nation and bringing women’s football to the forefront.
Last night’s glory inspired congratulations from a host of those involved in the men’s game, and Lampard sent his heartfelt message to the Lionesses earlier today along with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ben Godfrey.
