I'm better with one nostril' Hampton earns bloodied place in history books

The image of Terry Butcher's bloodstained shirt during an England draw against Sweden in 1989 is immortalised in the country's football history. Now another English player's stoic display against Sweden - this time with a bloodied nose - will be etched into the annals after Hannah Hampton's heroics during the Lionesses' remarkable shootout victory over Sweden in Zurich.

Hampton, with an absorbent shoved up her right nostril after a collision in the penalty area caused a nosebleed, found the composure, focus and agility to save two Sweden penalties to help Sarina Wiegman's team win 3-2 in the shootout and book Tuesday's semi-final meeting with Italy after an unlikely comeback to draw 2-2 after extra time. It was a coming-of-age performance for the 24-year-old from Birmingham, who had also produced two pivotal saves when England were 2-0 down, and surely banished any faintly lingering uncertainty about her readiness to be England's first-choice goalkeeper. Hampton was confirmed by Wiegman as England's No 1 after Mary Earps retired from international football in May. It had been the direction of travel but those were big gloves to fill. Hampton's player-of-the-match performance in the quarter-final on her 20th senior international appearance means England fans have a new keeper to idolise.
