There is something within Chloe Kelly that makes her fearless; the perfect player for high- pressure moments.

The Euro 2022 final, the Finalissima and now the World Cup last-16 tie against Nigeria. Kelly scored the winner in all three matches.

In the Finalissima against Brazil and against Nigeria, Kelly took the fifth and final penalty in the shootouts. The second was a carbon copy of the first. With a hop, skip and a jump, she smashed the ball into the top-left corner.

At 69mph, her penalty on Monday was more powerful than any goal scored in the Premier League last season.
