England's historic win over Brazil at Wembley ruins Tottenham star Richarlison's promise
England made history at Wembley Stadium tonight, beating Brazil 4-2 on penalties to claim the first Finalissima women's title. And the Lioness' latest success has ruined Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison's promise to his country's stars.
England were sent to dreamland when Ella Toone produced a sensational team move composed by Sarina Wiegman in the 22nd minute.
The Manchester United midfielder beat Leticia Izidoro to delight the English fans in attendance.
But the South American champions weren't ready to let history slip through their fingers, and their moment to strike came in the dying embers.
Mary Earps produced a howl in the second minute of the extra five minutes, which Andressa Alves took advantage of to send the game to a penalty shootout.
But the Lionesses roared on penalties again as Earps redeemed themselves and Chloe Kelly scored the decisive goal to secure the first ever La Finalissima crown.
According to , the Spurs star has promised his compatriots a festive barbecue on his London pad if they win at Wembley.
Richarlison was spotted in the stands in north London before kick-off wearing the No.9 shirt of Brazilian striker Debinha.
But it wasn't for the Copa America Femenina winners, who beat Colombia 1-0 in July.
Two days later, England beat Germany 2-1 after extra time to win the European Championship at Wembley.
Following the return of the men's Finalissima in 2022, with Argentina beating UEFA European Championship winners Italy 3-0 under the famous arch, UEFA and Conmebol have agreed to stage the first step for female winners.
And the Lionesses produced another memorable evening, the perfect preparation for this year's Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Richarlison was one of 83,132 people at Wembley, but the match may not have ended as he would have hoped.
It remains to be seen if the Tottenham striker will invite the Brazil team anyway.
Otherwise hopefully he didn't fill up on sausages and burgers. That might have undermined the Lionesses, which is getting harder and harder to do.
Richarlison will consider a return to the pitch to help managerless Tottenham this season, with a Champions League spot in the sights of interim boss Cristian Stellini.
