When I moved from the US to Spain to build a new life, I hoped to find someone to share it with. I mostly dated men who spoke both English and Spanish, but never felt a true connection - until one night at a Latin dance event when I was paired with my now-boyfriend.

Chloe Kelly was the hero again as England retained their European Championship crown with a 3-1 penalty shoot-out win over Spain, netting the winning spot-kick after a 1-1 draw in Basel. Kelly's Arsenal team-mates Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo both scored headers in normal time, and though world champions Spain pushed for a winner in the additional period, they were unable to prevent a shoot-out. England were made to regret a big miss from Lauren Hemp when Spain took the lead in the 25th minute.
