Here, the Press Association looks back on some of the best and the worst sporting moments of 2025.

Chloe Kelly clinches England's victory

Chloe Kelly struck the winning penalty as England beat world champions Spain on penalties to win Euro 2025 and defend their crown.

It was particularly special for Kelly after a difficult season personally, but the entire England team shone.

Lucy Bronze battled through injury, later revealing she played on with a fractured tibia, and Hannah Hampton made key saves in the game and then again during the penalty shootout.

Mcliroy seals his grand slam

Rory Mcllroy completed the career grand slam in April, beating Justin Rose in a dramatic playoff at The Masters.
