The lionesses reached their third successive tournament final and will defend their European title on Sunday despite the fact that they returned home for a long time in Geneva Tuesday evening after the goal of Barbara Bonansea.
But Agyemang slammed the equalizer in the sixth minute of the time of arrest, before Kelly marks with a minute of extension to play after initially saw his penalty saved.
The Sarina Wiegman team will now face Spain or Germany in the final of Sunday in Basel.
England vs Italy as happened
Italy frustrates lionesses
The first chance for the lionesses fell to striker Alessia Russo. Still aimless at the tournament, the Arsenal striker has done space in the box, but his shot whistled the bad side of the right post.
But Italy won the first time after slowly grew up in the game, England did not succeed before Bonansea took a touch and stole to put the outsiders in front.

The lionesses responded well and could have equalized quickly, but goalkeeper Laura Giuliani read the lateral shot of the attacker well to combine him.
The Wiegman team started the second half showing more intention and improvements, but again, lacking quality in the last third, with the hemp of Lauren and Ella Toone, ending disappointing after being in good positions.
However, the threat of Italy stayed with Hannah Hampton occupied to block a number of shots.
Georgia Stanway and hemp forced other Guiliani stops, but Azzur’s cap seemed desperate not to be beaten while time was starting to run for the reigning European champions.
Super subsistence again
Not for the first time this tournament, Wiegman turned to the bench for an inspiration and this player was, once again, Chloé Kelly.
After having avoided conceding another goal on the break, Kelly’s first action was to cut inside and winning a corner, with the resulting head of Lucy Bronze blocked, before the same player is very close to another who completed through the goal – but Italy has managed to clean.
Aggie Beever-Jones and Michelle Agyemang were the following to be presented while Wiegman chose to withdraw Alessia Russo and Captain Leah Williamson for the last diced rabbit.
But just when it seemed that the super subsist lacked magic, AGYEMANG intensified again in the sixth minute of the stoppage time, slamming at home after the hemp cross was not gathered to finally break the resistance of Italy.

Kelly wins it again, again
There was not much to report in overtime, it was up to the last three minutes when the super-sous-sous-marine of England came again.
AGYEMANG, full of confidence after its astonishing moment, almost scored one of the goals of the tournament with a loop effort which struck the crossbar.
A few moments later and with about a minute to play, England received a penalty for a fault from Emma Severini on Beth Mead, and went up another submarine.
Kelly, the goal scientist who won England the euros in 2022, saw her kick in place before typing the rebound at another sensational victory when his team reached their third successive tournament final.
