Hannah Hampton was chosen ahead of Mary Earps for the Lionesses' crucial clash with Sweden and she came up with two big stops as England secured their spot at Euro 2025
The Chelsea star got the nod ahead of Mary Earps and came up with two big saves to ensure the European champions will be in Switzerland next summer
Hannah Hampton came to the Lionesses' rescue as England avoided defeat in Sweden for the first time in 42 years in a nervy goalless draw that secured qualification for the 2025 UEFA Women's Euro. Sarina Wiegman's side started the game on the front foot, despite their hosts needing to win the game, but were left thanking their goalkeeper by full-time after she came up with two big stops in a chaotic end to a crucial match.
Georgia Stanway was England's best outfield player and looked most likely to instigate an opening goal, her cross just evading Alessia Russo in the first half before one shot of her own had Zecira Musovic scrambling and another hit the side netting either side of the break.
There were nervy moments in the Lionesses' defence as Leah Williamson got away with a desperate lunge on Rosa Kafaji,staying on her feet under the challenge in the box, while Millie Bright twice bundled into Hampton as she rose to collect crosses. Butheld on for their first positive result away at Sweden since 1982 and they will have a shot at defending that title after securing their spot at Euro 2025.
