Kop on shootout heroics: ‘When you score and save one, it has been great!’

Asked about her confidence to step up for a penalty so early in the shootout, she added: “I feel like I've got a good kick and I don't know, I just love to score. If I get the opportunity to score, like I'm a goalkeeper, when do you get the chance to score?

“Eventually, I know my job is to save the penalties. I think it gave me confidence that I could score one because I take them in training and I'm happy Chris [Williams] trusted me to give me a penalty.

The normal 90 minutes of action had pretty much everything – London City turning the game on its head with two goals in two minutes to cancel out Matilda Vinberg’s early opener, before Bethany England slotted home from the spot with virtually the last kick of the game to take the tie into extra time.

Reflecting on the whole evening and progression in the FA Cup, Lize said: “Bethany scoring the penalty at the end of the game and all the substitutes, they came in and worked so hard to be able to get into the penalty shootout.

“It's great. Today was not an easy game. It's so special to go through and this is a tournament where you want to stay in and we want to go to Wembley eventually, so what we did today was the first step to that.”
