Against England
Holland hammer! Simons scores after seven minutes
What a hammer blow for Holland! Xavi Simons scored after just seven minutes to give the Netherlands the lead in the European Championship semi-final against England - a dream goal.
It was the dream start the Netherlands had hoped for - and a real dream goal! Simons won the ball himself after Declan Rice's weak ball reception and didn't hesitate for long, slamming the ball into the far corner from 17 meters with his full right foot. A strike that did not make England keeper Jordan Pickford look good.
A side note: the 21-year-old Leipziger's goal was the earliest goal in a EURO semi-final since Alan Shearer's against Germany in 1996. The former England striker, of all people, was even quicker with his goal in the third minute.
