England suffered World Cup final agony as they lost 1-0 to Spain with Nottingham's Mary Earps saving a penalty in the second half
England’s dream of lifting a first World Cup was dashed at the final hurdle after Olga Carmona’s first-half strike proved enough to secure Spain a 1-0 victory in Sydney.
That never came, and while the Lionesses had their chances they ultimately could not find a way past speedy Spain, who survived 13 minutes of stoppage time to secure a deserved maiden world title. Earps, who until the final had conceded just three goals across England’s campaign, added another fine save to her CV when she dove to tip Caldentey’s low shot around her right post.
