Alessia Russo's outrageous back-heel in England's semi-final defeat of Sweden has been voted the best goal of UEFA Women's EURO 2022 in a fan poll.
The top ten goals of the tournament were selected by UEFA's Technical Observer panel, and then put to a vote.
Russo's improvised finish, which also topped the expert list, won the fan vote, while England team-mate Ella Toone's neat chip against Germany in the showpiece earned the runner-up spot. Alexandra Popp's close-range strike from a well-worked Germany move against France came third.
