And Kelly was again full of praise for fellow substitute Agyemang.
'Big Mich at it again," said Kelly.
'She's unbelievable and she should have scored again, that one that hit the crossbar.
'She's an unbelievable player and she's got the world at her feet, a young player with a bright future and I'm absolutely buzzing for her.
'But this team shows resilience again and we fight back.
"Hopefully we can make it a little bit easier for ourselves – we don't need that panic.'
Barbara Bonansea stunned the England support into silence when she opened the scoring in the 33rd minute for the underdog Italians, who had reached their first European semi-final in 28 years.
The Lionesses, in their sixth straight major tournament final four appearance, were on the brink of elimination when 19-year-old Agyemang once again came off the bench and rescued Sarina Wiegman's side with a second-half stoppage-time equaliser.
England were gifted a penalty late in the second period of extra time and, though Kelly's initial attempt was saved, the Arsenal forward made no mistake with her second opportunity when she emphatically buried the rebound.

Pape Matar Sarr's stunner was the difference between the two sides in a game that saw Mikel Arteta hand debuts to Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera off the bench. As for Spurs, Frank has only one new signing available to him so far - Mohammed Kudus - who put in another solid showing after his move from West Ham. Newcastle, meanwhile, have bigger problems at home, with Alexander Isak training alone at his former club Real Sociedad as he looks to force through a move to Liverpool. That leaves the north-eastern outfit eyeing up a new striker, and Newcastle are set to rival Manchester United for Benjamin Sesko, the RB Leipzig forward. They also hold an interest in wantaway Brentford man Yoanne Wissa. Date, kick-off time and venue Tottenham vs Newcastle is scheduled for a 12pm BST kick-off on Sunday, August 3, 2025.

Viktor Gyokeres ruthlessly mocked after nightmare Arsenal debut
Former Manchester United target, Viktor Gyokeres, endured a debut to forget for his new side Arsenal. Gyokeres chase The Red Devils were very keen on bringing in the Swedish striker this summer as he used to work with United manager Ruben Amorim at Sporting CP. Moreover, he was in lethal form last season, bagging 54 goals in all competitions. It has also been reported that the player heavily favoured a move to Arsenal over a reunion with Amorim, which supporters of the Gunners have naturally lapped up. Debut from hell Nonetheless, it was supporters of other teams that drew the first laugh as the Sweden international contributed virtually nothing in a 0-1 pre-season defeat to fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur. In 14 minutes of action, he managed 0 shots on goal and 0 dribble attempts. He could also only manage two passes in the entire time he was on the field, failing to connect with his teammates in any meaningful way. The striker also didn't manage to get involved in any ground or aerial duels as he caused the Spurs' defence little to no problem during his brief stint on the pitch. Social media joy Football fandom is full of banter, especially in the social media age and it was awash with memes and mockery. X account Hater Central mocked his performance by stating, he must be 100% constipated after a line of 0s in his real statistics. Footy Humour also posted on X, 'welcome to the 001 club' mocking his lack of goals and Arsenal's inability to win trophies in recent years. Another X account, Troll Football, also mockingly compared Gyokeres' effort to United's Rasmus Hojlund. They posted 'Gyokeres against a team that was battling relegation last season' and 'Hojlund against a team that was battling for Europe last season.' New striker pursuit After missing out on Gyokeres, United have turned their attention to Benjamin Sesko and it has been reported that the club are prepared to make an official move for the striker. As fate would have it, United will face Gyokeres at Old Trafford on Sunday 17th August on the opening day of the season. Supporters will hope he has a similar impact on the game as he did on his debut. Featured image Gualter Fatia via Getty Images online polls Follow us on Bluesky: @
