Kelly's finish was faster than any shot in the 2024/25 Premier League. |
On July 28, Chloe Kelly's penalty that won the European Championship for England's women's team set a staggering statistic: It clocked in at 110 km/h, faster than any shot in the 2024/25 Premier League season.
This figure surpasses the strongest shot of last season, which belonged to Alexander Isak, when he scored against Liverpool at a speed of 109 km/h.
Kelly's kick was not only powerful but also decisive, as she coolly sent the ball straight into the roof of the net, sealing victory for the "Three Lions" against Spain in the nerve-wracking penalty shootout.
The final in Basel, Switzerland, saw England come back from behind. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton shone with two brilliant penalty saves. Kelly took the decisive spot-kick. She made no mistake, despite missing a penalty a few days earlier in the semi-final against Italy.
At the Euro 2022 final, Kelly was also a hero when she scored the decisive goal in extra time, helping the England women's team defeat Germany 2-1. Immediately after, Kelly performed the famous shirt-taking celebration.
The win at St. Jakob-Park was England's second consecutive Euro title, and marked the first time an England team (men or women) had won a major tournament not on home soil.
