Chloe Kelly’s former teacher says “when the chips are down you can count on her” after she smashed in the winning penalty against Nigeria to send the Lionesses into the World Cup quarter-finals.
The striker, 25, also scored the winner in the Euros final against Germany in 2022 and on Monday helped rescue England’s World Cup hopes after Lauren James was sent off. Kelly came on as a substitute and went on to take the decisive spot-kick in the shootout after the game finished 0-0 in extra-time.
