Asked at the post-match press conference what was going through her mind as she prepared to shoot, she said: "When I got the ball in the 95th minute, I thought, 'Okay, there is so much on my shoulders'. But I took a bit of time, I kept a cool head and then I shot on goal.

"We had been waiting for this moment for a long time. In 2015, we got to the round of 16, so we really wanted to do ourselves proud. We didn't want to just stumble through, we wanted to prove that we are the Lionesses."
