Kelly was understandably ecstatic after coming back from behind thanks to header, which forced the match to extra time and, eventually, a penalty shootout victory.

Kelly said: “This team is made of magic and it’s made of steel.

“When we were down against Sweden, when we were down against Italy

“We f***ing showed great determination and we came back.

“You can’t write the English off!”

“I’m so proud to be English.”

Kelly signed off with an inspiring statement to the next generation of football stars.

She said: “Every girl out there with that dream - you can do it, keep shooting for the stars.”
