Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps has been crowned Sports Personality of the Year, succeeding England teammate Beth Mead to become the second women’s footballer to win the prestigious award in as many years.
Earps played a vital role as the Lionesses reached their first Women’s World Cup final this summer and won the Golden Glove at the tournament following a series of brilliant performances between the posts - including a penalty save in the Sydney final as Spain beat England 1-0.
