With just six minutes left on the clock, another substitute, Ella Toone, volleyed home Alessia Russo’s drive to send the game into overtime. However, six minutes into the first half of extra time, Georgia Stanway sent the Sussex crowd into a frenzy when she smashed a shot into the top left corner. The crowd erupted as Stanway ran to the corner to celebrate by singing the famous Euro 96 anthem “Football’s coming home”. There were similar echoes of joy on social media, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s official Twitter account. Writing on the social media platform, the Cambridges praised the Lionesses’ performance and comeback. The message was signed with a W indicating that it was written by the Duke. The tweet read: “Great performance and comeback @lionesses great team effort! “To the semi-finals #WEURO2022. W.” READ MORE: ‘So sad!’ Fears erupt after Prince Harry’s ‘strange’ appearance @brels32368 added “Fantastic! I love my country.” While @jameskarthur nervously said: “Supporting England is always a challenge on your nerves. My heart rate is almost normal. Amazing stuff but I need a cognac!!” @nici30bln exclaimed “Let’s hope for #ENGGER in the final.” Some royal fans thought it was time for Princess Charlotte in a game of lions. Twitter user @linnyb2709 added: “Time to take Charlotte to her first Lionesses game.” Prince George was famously taken by his parents to watch the England men’s team play at Euro 2020 at Wembley last year. England will play their semi-final next Tuesday at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, with the final itself taking place on Sunday 31 July at Wembley Stadium.
