But whilst saving the day, Earps found time for something that seems to be one of her favourite hobbies - unleashing swear words.

Lucia Garcia got the Red Devils off to a fast start, scoring in the first minute, nodding home at the back post.

Rachel Williams made it 2-0 before Lauren James grabbed a goal for Chelsea in first-half stoppage time.

But, in the second period, Earps stopped England team-mate James for scoring an equaliser in spectacular fashion.

The Blues forward sent a goal-bound header but her rival was more than equal to it, clawing the ball away.

The 31-year-old was clearly delighted with her save, immediately appearing to roar 'f*** off' at the top of her lungs.

Earps has won plenty of fans in recent years for her sensational shot-stopping and her no-nonsense attitude on the pitch.

In England's dramatic World Cup final loss in 2023, Earps also show her love of swearing.
