The final of the Fifa Women’s World Cup was one for the history books. England and Spain put on quite the show and it was nail biting from the start straight to the finish. Olga Carmona from Spain scored a goal in the first half. However both teams had opportunities to the goal post numerous times. England’s goalkeeper, Mary Earps, has been named the best goalkeeper at the 2023 Women’s World Cup. She also claimed the Golden Glove award and was on fire in this tournament.
