Liverpool Women's midfielder Missy Bo Kearns is hopeful England's European Championships success can kick-start a new, exciting era for the female game.
The Lionesses achieved a 2-1 victory over Germany at Wembley this evening, with goals from Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly earning England Women their first ever major tournament win. After drawing 1-1 at the end of regular time, Kelly prodded home from close range with only ten minutes remaining before a potential penalty shootout.
A total of 87,192 spectators witnessed this historic moment for Sarina Wiegman's side, who will hope their performances at the Euros can inspire a new generation to pursue a professional career in Women's football. One individual who has been left inspired by tonight's triumph is Liverpool midfielder Missy Bo Kearns, who helped the Reds earn promotion back to the WSL last season (Women's Super League).

Taking to Twitter after the full-time whistle at the national stadium, the 21-year-old wrote: "Wow so proud of all the Lionesses, what an achievement.. it’s come home!!! Now's the time to keep the momentum going for English football."
Kearns enjoyed a breakthrough campaign during 2020/21, resulting in the youngster being named the club's Player of the Season. She signed a new contract with Liverpool in June of last year and will now be eager to make an impression during the upcoming WSL season.
