BERLIN (Reuters) - If Marc Guehi's last-gasp header had hit the net maybe England would have gone on to become European champions on Sunday but instead Dani Olmo cleared off the line and it was Spain who took the glory and handed Gareth Southgate another agonising defeat.

Having come from behind for the fourth game in a row and seemingly on course to take the final to extra time, England were sunk by Mikel Oyarzabal's 86th-minute strike in a 2-1 loss as they suffered a second successive final defeat after going down on penalties to Italy at Wembley three years ago.
