During the game, the defender stole the limelight thanks to her spectacular long throw that sent shockwaves across social media. The 30-year-old was several yards ahead of the centre circle when she launched a rocket of a throw-in into England’s penalty area.
The comparison to the Stoke legend was made on X (formerly Twitter) as the ex-Manchester City and Liverpool star was the star of the show on the internet, entering the history books of the greatest throw-in talents in football. Is Megan Campbell a better long throw taker than Rory Delap?
Her throw-ins were discussed by Wiegman following the game who called them “spectacular”. The German said: “They made it a real fight by putting players up front and the throw-ins, which were spectacular.
We had to really fight in one-v-ones in 18-yard box, it’s a lesson for us, if we win the ball we really want to keep the ball and play out of the press and make our own momentum again. That’s what we struggled with a bit.”
