This scene was a last-minute addition, filmed with the hopeful anticipation of an England win, allowing Emmerdale to capture and reflect the national excitement surrounding the Lionesses' triumph.
Producer Laura Shaw said: "With the nation getting behind the Lionesses , we knew the fictional characters in Emmerdale would've been doing just the same, so it felt right and proper that we should reflect this result on the show."
England put their fans through the mill during the final, with Spain scoring first before Alessia Russo equalised in the 57th minute.
It meant the dreaded penalties would decide who would triumph and thankfully, England came out on top.
