The Arsenal winger had cropped up off the bench when needed throughout the tournament, making her influence known and adding yet another decisive Euros goal to her growing list of career highlights.
Kelly understandably had plenty to celebrate as she sang, danced and skipped her way across the pitch in the aftermath to the full-time whistle.
However some England fans joked that she was getting a little carried away when a hilarious team photo surfaced seemingly showing her taking a nibble at a teammate's arm.
A celebratory selfie snapped by veteran star Lucy Bronze, and uploaded to the Lionesses X account, looked to show Kelly munching on the elbow of substitute goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse.

Noticing that the Orlando Pride stopper appeared to have Kelly biting down on her arm, one England fan online joked: "Whose arm is Chloe Kelly munching on?"
While another added: "Chloe Kelly looks like she's trying to eat someone's elbow".
A third asked: "Is Chloe trying to eat Anna's arm?"
And a fourth teased: "Chloe Kelly is getting hungry".

In reality it seemed to just be an unfortunate angle, with Kelly actually celebrating with another teammate behind Moorhouse.
The former Man City forward was the definition of a supersub, coming on for an injured Lauren James at the end of the first half and going on to set up Alessia Russo's equalising goal and netting the deciding spot kick.
History-making Lionesses showed true English grit to win Euros and fully deserve the glory
Kelly had similar influences from the bench in the Lionesses' dramatic semi-final and quarter-final victories over Italy and Sweden.
Speaking after her confidently dispatched penalty, Kelly had no doubt she was going to score having had to rely on a rebounded miss for her winner against Italy earlier in the week.
She told the BBC: "I was cool. I was composed.
"And I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. I don't miss penalties twice".
She added: "The celebrations are going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows the love to all these girls, because they deserve it."
The Lionesses made history by becoming the first England side across both the men's and women's game to win a major tournament on foreign soil.
While boss Sarina Wiegman added a third consecutive Euros title to her trophy cabinet, her second with the Lionesses after initially tasting success as Holland boss in 2017.

Pope Leo gets rockstar welcome as 1 million young devotees gather for ‘Catholic Woodstock'
THE Pope was given a rock-star welcome by hundreds of thousands of young devotees at an event dubbed the Catholic Woodstock. Leo XIV arrived by helicopter on Saturday for the event on a field on the outskirts of Rome. 4 4 The first US-born pope, 69, was greeted by deafening screams from the pilgrims, who had gathered in Italy from nearly 150 countries and spent much of the week living in tents at Tor Vergata. He led a vigil on Saturday night and yesterday morning returned for a Mass, thought to have been attended by a million people. In his first big encounter with the next generation of Catholics, the Pontiff spoke in Spanish, Italian and English as he told them: 'Friendship can really change the world. "Friendship is a path to peace. 'How much the world needs missionaries of the Gospel who are witnesses of justice and peace.' At the Mass he told his audience they stood alongside the young of Gaza and Ukraine. Francisco Michel, a pilgrim from Mexico, described the pontiff's arrival as a 'spiritual growth'. He said: 'It is something spiritual that you can experience only every 25 years. "As a young person, having the chance to live this meeting with the Pope, I feel it is a spiritual growth.' The week-long Jubilee of Youth festival, called a Catholic Woodstock by Italian media, is a highlight of the Vatican's 2025 Holy Year.

New Belfast Giants star reveals stylish helmet artwork honouring Champions League winning goalkeeper
The Czech goalkeeper is considered to be one of the greatest football goalkeepers of all time, winning the 2012 Champions League and four Premier League titles with Chelsea, as well as five FA Cups during a glittering career that also saw him play for Arsenal. However, since retiring from football, he has returned to his first sporting love of ice hockey, playing primarily in the lower tiers of the English game with the likes of the Guildford Phoenix, Chelmsford Chieftains and Oxford City Stars. After featuring in a charity game at the SSE Arena to support Ukrainian ice hockey in the summer of 2023, Cech would be called up by the Giants as injury cover the following November, preceding two more short-term deals to help cover injuries in February and August the following year. The Plzen native would even get some time in a competitive game, coming on for the final four-and-a-half minutes of an Elite League clash with the Glasgow Clan in November 2023 and making one save without conceding in a 5-1 win at the SSE Arena. While Cech has not been signed to the Giants' roster for the upcoming season – yet – the ex-Premier League star will still be in Belfast in some capacity as he features on the back of Gravel's helmet, which the new netminder revealed on Instagram on Sunday. The 25-year-old, who signed for the Giants from German side Adler Mannheim this summer, is an avid football fan and showed off the new artwork that reflects Cech lifting the Champions League trophy, flanked by the Canadian and United Kingdom flags. Gravel, a former NHL Draft pick with the Chicago Blackhawks, will battle it out for game time with Great Britain international Jackson Whistle this season but arrives with significant pedigree as a former CHL First Team All-Star honouree and an Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup winner.
