But she told us she would wait to celebrate after a tough battle. "It's an early night for me," she said. "I'm shattered, but it will just be nice to see them." Rachel Daly, 27, from Harrogate, who came on as a second-half substitute, said the team was going to have some time to rest but will 'go again' against Denmark. "It is a talented squad and Sarina is a fantastic manager," she said. "I will be ready if I am called upon. I don't think anything will replicate a home game. But we are getting as many fans as possible out to these games and the support has been brilliant." Mary Earps, 30, came to the rescue of the Lionesses in){kind=link}
