Keira Walsh traded her England shirt for fan’s Leah Williamson mask | OneFootball

As is usually the case at the end of an England match, the celebrations after the Lionesses' latest Arnold Clark Cup win over Italy were wholesome.

The team did a lap around the pitch at the Coventry Building Society Arena to applaud the crowd and some of the players gave their match shirts away.

Keira Walsh was one who handed out her jersey to a fan, but not before striking a trade deal with the recipient.

What did Keira Walsh do?

Walsh, who was absent for the clash against South Korea last week due to illness, enjoyed her return to the lineup again on Sunday.

The Barcelona star was among several rotations from Sarina Wiegman, who opted to start the likes of Ellie Roebuck, Jess Park, and Katie Robinson as she assesses her options for the World Cup.

After the winning result, Walsh gifted her shirt to a member of the 32,128 strong crowd in Coventry.

It seemed as though her decision to select which fan to give her shirt to, came down to the fact that one in particular had something she also wanted.

A video from the crowd, posted by TikTok user lionessesxoxo, shows Walsh handing the shirt to the steward while telling him to swap it for a Leah Williamson mask.

A delighted-looking Walsh put the mask on and ran over to the England skipper, who burst out laughing when she spotted what had happened.

When do England next play?

England have just one match left in the Arnold Clark Cup, and it will be a winner-takes-all clash with Belgium.

Thanks to their latest win over South Korea, the Red Flames and the Lionesses are now tied on points with just each other left to play.

The two sides will close the tournament on Wednesday, February 22nd when they meet at Ashton Gate.

With two wins each and six points on the board, whoever wins the tie in Bristol will lift the 2023 Arnold Clark Cup.

As reigning champions, England naturally entered this year's tournament as the favourites. However, Belgium have also enjoyed a strong run.

The Lionesses lead only by goal difference, having scored six and conceded one against South Korea and Italy.

After England won the inaugural Arnold Clark Cup last year — finishing above Spain, Canada, and Germany — they of course went on to be crowned Euro 2022 champions.
