Manchester United and Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps has been ranked the second best goalkeeper in the world at the 2022 IFFHS Awards.
Christiane Endler of Olympique de Lyon has claimed first place for the second consecutive year.
Endler helped his team to another UEFA Champions League victory in June and earned the most points in the standings.
Meanwhile, Earps, who helped England win the Euro Cup earlier this year with his impressive shot-stopping skills, was ranked second in the standings and made the list for the first time in his career.
Since his United debut in September 2019, Earps has played every minute of every WSL game for the Reds.
This season he has kept clean sheets in all but one of his eight WSL appearances.
She has established herself as England manager Sarina Wiegman’s first goalkeeper since the Dutchwoman took charge of the Lionesses from Phil Neville.
Earps had lost her place in Neville’s team, but thanks to Wiegman’s confidence, United’s guidance and Earps’ hard work and determination, she regained her place and surpassed Ellie Roebuck to become the number one goalkeeper in the country. .
Earps finished ahead of Germany and Wolfsburg goalkeeper Merle Frohms and Arsenal’s Manuela Zinsberger.
This is just the latest accolade in a year of achievement for the 29-year-old, who continues to go from strength to strength.
Earps will be hoping to keep another clean sheet in the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
United currently sit second in the table ahead of Arsenal on goal difference and three points ahead of fourth-place City.
