England 'were never done' in extraordinary win over Sweden – Williamson

European champions England looked set to have their title defence ended when Sweden stormed into a 2-0 lead in Thursday's quarter-final.

Yet quickfire goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang saw Sarina Wiegman's side drag themselves level at Stadion Letzigrund.

Penalties were required to settle the contest, and in a nervy, low-quality shoot-out, England came out on top 3-2.

"I feel proud. That was awful to watch at the end. We're never done, the fightback, the quality to turn the game around and stay in it mentally - incredible," Williamson said, as quoted by Sky Sports.

"We've done loads of prep [on penalties]. It's the easiest and the hardest thing in the world. There is so much science behind it.

"You hope you create an environment where everyone feels valued enough that when it's their time, they come in and deliver.

"We've played three finals in a row now, basically. I'm a happy girl today."

England became the first ever team to progress from a knockout tie at the Women's Euros after having trailed by two or more goals.

They have progressed from all four of their quarter-final matches at the Women's Euros, while they have reached the semi-finals in three consecutive editions for the first time.

Wiegman, meanwhile, has seen her team win all three of the penalty shoot-outs they have contested under her tutelage.

"One of the hardest games I've ever watched. Very emotional," Wiegman said.

"We could have been out of the game three or four times, when you're [down] 2-0 at half-time it's not good.

"Although we started really bad. At the end it got better, but we didn't create anything so we had to change shape and we score two goals – that was crazy.

"We missed a lot [of penalties], and they miss even more. I need to decompress."

Chloe Kelly, the matchwinner in the Euro 2022 final, came on from the bench to play a part in both of England's goals.

She told BBC Sport: "We knew we had to bounce back; we weren't at our best in the first half, but we knew we were capable of doing so and we showed that.

"The girls coming onto the pitch did their jobs, executed it really well. That just shows, with the whole squad, when you're needed, you take your moment.

"I didn't feel under pressure, I just wanted to go and create some goals for the girls and be at my best. I just tried to put the ball in the box and play to my strengths.

"Against a top side like Sweden, there's going to be times where you are struggling a little bit, but it's about sticking together in those moments.

"Even in extra time, there were moments where we felt uncomfortable, but it's riding the storm together, knowing we've got resilient players in our team and we can bounce back from anything."
