Fran Kirby Nets the England Opener v Spain (full-page photograph)

A full-page photograph of Fran Kirby wheeling away after opening the scoring against Spain in Breda on 23 July 2017, the goal that set up England’s 2-0 win and their second victory of the group stage. The only text is her own explanation of it: she saw the goalkeeper move early to her left-hand side and decided to slot it into the corner. Placed between the matchday two and matchday three round-ups, it is the first of two single-image pages in the issue’s Euros coverage, the other being the Jodie Taylor Golden Boot spread later on. Kirby had come into the tournament having fought back from injury, and She Kicks had described her in the previous issue as Mark Sampson’s mini Messi.
