Watkins, who had only made one prior appearance in the tournament during the group-stage draw against Denmark, came off the bench in the semi-final match against the Netherlands. In the dying moments of the game, he scored the decisive goal, securing England’s spot in the Euro 2024 final. The goal was set up by fellow substitute Cole Palmer, fulfilling Watkins’ pre-match prediction. "I swear on my kids’ lives that I told Cole, ‘We are going to come on today and you are going to set me up’,” Watkins revealed post-match, highlighting his foresight and determination.
