'For sure, I’ll step up' - Bullish Parris plans to take England's next penalty

The winger missed her second spot-kick of the Women's World Cup against Norway but is backing herself to score the next one

Nikita Parris has no doubts in herself despite missing a second consecutive penalty in England’s quarter-final win over Norway.

She joined Mia Hamm in a very exclusive but unwanted club, in becoming just the second player to miss two spot-kicks at a Women's World Cup, and the first to do so in the same campaign.

But, after terrorising Norway left-back Kristine Minde for 90 minutes, that miss is certainly not on the winger’s mind.
