Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner took the trend of gender reveals to the next level last night. The USMNT star and his wife, former NFL cheerleader Ashley Herron, found out the news that they are having a baby girl after the national team's 1-0 win over El Salvador.
Ricardo Pepi's 62nd-minute strike meant the USA confirmed their place in the CONCACAF Nations League finals as well as this summer's Gold Cup. The win was Anthony Hudson's second win as interim head coach after failing to defeat Serbia and Colombia in January.
After the game, the Gunners shot-stopper was at the centre of events in Orlando City's Exploria Stadium as he conducted a gender reveal in front of the 18,900 supporters inside the arena.

The USMNT squad watched on as Turner kicked a mini football into air to reveal a cloud of pink. A video of the event on social media showed Turner's wife holding their son, Easton, as the rest of the squad mobbed the goalkeeper in celebration.
It is the second time Turner has revealed the gender of his child after a game of football. During his time at New England Revolution, Ashley was the one who kicked the ball to reveal a blue cloud as Turner watched on with an injury.
"I was nervous for sure," Turner told GOAL. "But it's like an excitement kind of nervous. You just want to know because I just like knowing!
"It's a good feeling to know that we're gonna have a little baby girl and I think I'm in big, big trouble in the future. She's gonna have me wrapped around her finger!"
He continued: "20 or so people from my family came down here. Family time is really important to my wife and I and being in London, it's few and far between.
"Obviously, we're chasing this crazy dream over there. That takes away from her being close to her family, because when we were in Boston, she's from Maine, and me being only a three hour drive from New Jersey. To be able to come here and for U.S. Soccer to be so flexible to allow us to do that, it's just a really special moment for us and I'm super excited to be a girl dad!"
