Kirk: Everton goalkeeper MacIver should be England's number one

Everton manager Willie Kirk believes Sandy MacIver showed her credentials to be England's number one goalkeeper in the Toffees' Women's FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City.

Kirk's side were beaten 3-1 in extra time by City, who won the competition - which was initially suspended by Covid-19 but then resumed and completed when the new 2020-21 season began - for the second year running.

However, it was MacIver who was named player of the match at Wembley Stadium, despite the result.
