For a long time, blokes like me who were generally positive about women’s football would always qualify our praise by saying something disparaging about the goalkeeping.

Not anymore.

It would take a perfect finish to get past Mary Earps, and that’s what Olga Carmona conjured up, burying the ball just inside the far post — about the only place our keeper couldn’t get to it.

To beat Earps and England only the best would do, and Spain were the best.

Fair play.
