England 2-1 Germany (aet): player ratings from the Euro 2022 final
Mary Earps Big stop on the line to deny Hegering in the first half. Brave goalkeeping that exuded confidence. 8
Lucy Bronze One-woman wall to deny Däbritz early on. Integral in her link up with Mead down the right. Tested Frohms. 8
Millie Bright Early tackle on Däbritz set the stall. Strong aerially but caught by Magull’s run for the equaliser. 7
Leah Williamson Calm leadership at the back. Less forward runs than usual but put her body on the line when it mattered. 7
Rachel Daly Lost out to Huth early on who caused her problems. Generally steady but tired. 6
Keira Walsh Little space to operate in but brilliant in possession. Sublime assist to spot the run of Toone for England’s goal. Player of the match – 9
Georgia Stanway Early innocuous booking put her on thin ice. Unable to have usual combative presence in the middle. 6
Fran Kirby Did not have much of the ball but utilised it well when she did. Frustrated by German fouls. 6
Beth Mead Strong outlet finding the spaces down the right. Gave Rauch a test. Withdrew injured in the second half. 7
Ellen White Physical presence and energy never petered. Will have expected to do better with early chance. 7
Lauren Hemp Showed pace to provide outlet down England’s left. Never gave up. Provided the delivery for the winner. 7
