How did the players fare in England's Women's Euro 2022 final win over Germany?


ENGLAND (4-2-3-1):

8 Earps: Has been excellent all tournament and made a number of crucial catches and clearances once again

8 Bronze: Another superb showing from the full-back, who has cemented her status as an all-time England great

8 Bright: Has been a towering defensive presence all tournament and once again won her personal battles at the back

8 Williamson: Barely gave Germany a sniff as she always seemed to be in the right place to mop up any danger

7 Daly: Justified her place in the side ahead of Greenwood with a committed and composed defensive display

9 WALSH: England’ standout as she marshalled the heart of midfield – produced a brilliant through ball for Toone’s goal

7 Stanway: Had to tread a fine line after picking up a first-half booking, but held her composure well and made some crucial tackles

6 Mead: Wasn’t able to add to her goals tally, but made a number of incisive passes before she was forced off in the second half

6 Kirby: Covered a lot of ground in the first half, but wasn’t afforded anything like the space she found in the semi-final

7 Hemp: Never stopped running at the German backline and delivered some telling crosses into the area

6 White: Gave her all against the German defence, but failed to find the target with the only chance that came her way before her withdrawal


Subs:

8 Toone (for Kirby, 56): Opened the scoring with a clinical finish after racing clear of the Germany defence
