England RATINGS

- DOMINIC KING AT WEMBLEY

MARY EARPS

8

SAFE and reliable as she has been throughout the tournament. One fine stop in the first half.

LUCY BRONZE

8

ALL action at right back, the 30-year-old won the biggest header of her career to set up the winning goal.

MILLIE BRIGHT

8.5

HEADED it, kicked it, put her foot in and helped lead a defence that refused to buckle under German pressure.

LEAH WILLIAMSON

9

THE best player on the pitch; immaculate reading of the game, considered use of possession and always calm.

RACHEL DALY

8 SUPER performanc­e with several key interventi­ons, though she was frustrated that Germany’s equaliser came from her side.

KEIRA WALSH

8.5

ONE of the best games of her career at the perfect moment, barely wasted a pass and kept England moving forward.

GEORGIA STANWAY

8

RAN so much that she barely had anything left to give by the time she was replaced late in the 88th minute by Jill Scott.

BETH MEAD

8 THE tournament’s Golden Boot winner and best player could not add to her tally but her impact in getting here was huge.

FRAN KIRBY

7 LIVELY in the first half, she would have wanted to see more of the ball in key areas but Germany’s defence managed her well.

LAUREN HEMP

8 ANOTHER who, when it mattered most, stood up and delivered, providing a key contributi­on to this historical day.

ELLEN WHITE

7

FRUSTRATED to miss a good chance in the first half, when she put the ball over the bar, before being substitute­d.
