• WHAT EARPS SAID

  Talking after the match, Earps revealed what it would mean to win the FA Cup this season, she said [via The Mirror]: "It would be, after a pretty not great season, it would be everything. To win a trophy with this club I’ve been at for five seasons it’d be everything, but we've got to stay focussed. Tottenham won't make it easy."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Earps' future at the club is very uncertain as she has been linked with a move away at the end of the season after having almost left the club last summer. She could very well be looking to win her last trophy with the Red Devils with an eye on a summer move. The 31-year-old was recently dropped by Sarina Wiegman during the Lionesses' Euro 2025 qualifiers and the snub reportedly pushed her to do better against Chelsea as per Skinner.
