Fans demand to buy Mary Earps goalkeeper shirt after Lionesses hero's penalty save

Spain were awarded a controversial penalty after Keira Walsh was adjudged to have handballed in the area.

La Roja were already a goal up and with time ticking, another would surely have killed off the game.

But Earps pulled off a jaw-dropping save from Jenni Hermoso's spot-kick to keep the hope for the Lionesses.

And fans are desperate to be able to buy the 30-year-old's kit, something that Nike have not released in their general stores currently.

One fan mentioned Nike's official Twitter account and wrote: "wheres our #MaryEarps shirt - what a LION."

Even England goalkeeper legend David Seaman took a pop at Nike, tweeting: "Bet @Nike are regretting not selling the #maryearps shirt now."

Spain left-back Olga Carmona had scored the opener in the first-half after a dominating display from La Roja.

But Lauren James was introduced at half-time after serving her two-match suspension from a red card, as well as Euro 2022 hero Chloe Kelly.

It helped the Lionesses turn the tide somewhat before the contentious decision to award a penalty.

Mariona Caldentey had made her way into the box when she chipped a touch that brushed Walsh's hand.

VAR stopped play after the ball went out for a corner, taking a long amount of time to make a decision.

Eventually, American referee Tori Penso was told to take a look at the pitchside monitor to see a replay of the incident.

After another lengthy spell looking at every angle, the referee made the decision to award the penalty.
