Vivianne Miedema scored twice as hosts Netherlands beat Denmark 4-2 to become only the fourth nation to win the women's European Championship since its inception in 1984. It was the first time the Dutch had trailed in the tournament, but the setback was temporary. In Martens, the Dutch have a superbly skilful two-footed player who curled the ball home to settle their nerves. The sight of the victorious players dancing on the pitch after the final whistle of a memorable final added a new celebratory chapter to this football-loving country. The challenge now is to build a Dutch dynasty in the years to come.
