<p>The 30-year-old shot-stopper, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/captain-mary-earps-england-sarina-wiegman-man-utd-stopper-leadership-call-netherlands-absence-millie-bright/bltb5006e7e9a4fcd38" target="_blank">who was given the armband for the UEFA Nations League clash</a>, won't want to watch back Lineth Beerensteyn's second goal of the first half, after spooning the ball into her own net following a fairly tame shot on goal. The 27-year-old Juventus forward opened the scoring in the 12th minute, before doubling her tally in the 35th, thanks to the error from Earps.</p>
