Everton's Emily Ramsey helps England Under-23s to victory with shootout heroics in Italy

Everton's Emily Ramsey saved two penalties to secure victory for England Under-23s against Italy in Rome.

The 21-year-old shot stopper joined the Blues on loan from Manchester United in the summer, and has made two appearances for Brian Sorensen's side so far this term. Ramsey kept a clean sheet when the Young Lionesses triumphed over the Netherlands in Walsall last Thursday and she put in another commanding performance at the Stadio Tre Fontane to shut out Nazzarena Grilli's Italy team.

The two sides were evenly-matched over 90 minutes, with England's Freya Gregory and Italy's Chiara Miriam Longo both seeing their shots cleared off the line in the second half. However Ramsey made herself the hero in the shootout, saving from Elisa Mariani and Alice Regazzoli to seal the victory for the Lionesses.
