Chloe Kelly runs off with BBC microphone in brilliant, hectic post-match interview

Daniel Brown

One of the all time classic football interviews

Chloe Kelly provided a memorable interview after scoring the winning goal in the Euro 2022 final against Germany on Sunday evening.

England secured a 2-1 victory over Germany at Wembley Stadium, thanks to goals from substitutes Ella Toone and Kelly, who grabbed the winner in extra time.

After the match, the Manchester City player, Speaking to BBC Sport, began to praise the England fans for their support before she incredibly joined in with the crowd signing Sweet Caroline.

Understandably, she was keen to join in with the celebrations with her teammates, so dropped the microphone and went to join in with the singing.

She did eventually return to conduct the interview, but not before celebrating with the fans in attendance inside the stadium.

Sarina Wiegman’s side took a 1-0 lead over Germany thanks to a second half strike from substitute Toone, who calmly chipped the goalkeeper in the 62nd minute.

However, Germany reacted well and levelled proceedings through Lina Magull in the 79th minute.

The game went to extra time, but it was England who grabbed the winner in the 111th minute through substitute Kelly, who stabbed home from close range to win the final for the Lionesses.
