Football fans have dubbed Lioness Chloe Kelly a 'legend' for her ecstatic - if not watershed-friendly - reaction to collecting her medal as a women's European football champion.

Celebrating their penalty shootout victory over Spain in the nailbiting Women's Euro final, the England team lined up to shake hands with Prince William and have medals placed round their necks.

But Kelly, who scored the penalty which secured the Lionesses' stunning win, was barely able to contain her excitement.

The Arsenal winger, who also scored the winner in England's 2022 Euros final win over Germany, kissed her medal before turning to the camera as she walked away and said: 'F****** come on!'.

Viewers at home were quick to point out her uncensored celebration on social media. One wrote: 'Chloe Kelly "F****** come on" Hah. Legend.'

Another posted: 'Chloe Kelly shaking hands with Prince William then turning to the camera... kissing her winners medal and saying "F****** COME ON" was the standout moment of the Women's Euros for me.' They added: '#Legend'.

She was also seen swaggering around the pitch with her team when she shouted: 'The first time was so nice, we had to do it twice!'.

It comes after Spanish media hit out at Kelly for her 'unnecessary' and 'cocky' celebration in front of La Roja stopper Cata Coll after scoring the winning penalty for England.

It came immediately after she had confidently stepped up and dispatched the decisive spot-kick, which secured victory for the Lionesses in the final of the women's European Championship on Sunday night.

Kelly, who scored the winner in England's 2022 Euros final win over Germany, 'unnecessarily' diverted her path after smashing the ball past Coll before making a gesture in front of the keeper, according to Spanish outlet Diario AS.

In the comment that accompanied a short clip of the climatic moment, published on their website, Kelly's decision to make a b-line for the England supporters in the corner was deemed 'cocky' and uncalled-for.

'This is unnecessary, my friend: Kelly’s cocky gesture to Cata Coll after scoring the decisive penalty,' they wrote.

'The England specialist changed her run during her penalty celebration to get past the goalkeeper she had just beaten.'

Kelly's introduction part-way through the first half changed the momentum of a game that Spain dominated and looked set to win. The 27-year-old, who - like her Gunners team-mates - adds Euros glory to Champions League success, assisted Alessia Russo's 57th-minute equaliser after Mariona Caldentey's 25th-minute opener.

The two sides could not be separated after 120 minutes of action, leading to the dreaded penalty shootout.

England were thankful for the contributions of goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, who produced two saves and saw another go wide of the post in the 3-1 shoot-out win.

In Diaro AS' full match report they insisted that England, who were defeated by Spain in the final of the women's World Cup two years ago, 'robbed' their Iberian opponents.

'The dream ends in a nightmare,' they added. 'Spain lost the European Championship on penalties. England tied a match that Spain largely dominated.

'History is made by victories, and also by defeats. Spain fell in the Euro Cup final but left its name sealed in gold. England robbed them of their dream; the world champions couldn’t close the circle they began to write two years ago in Sydney.

'They couldn’t have been crueler in the penalty shootout, tossing a few dice in the air.'
