Chloe Kelly made history on July 31, 2022, by scoring the crucial goal that secured England its first major women's trophy in over 50 years at the European Championships. Hailing from west London, Kelly’s football journey began with QPR and progressed through Arsenal's youth setup. Despite limited first-team opportunities, a loan to Everton helped solidify her skills. Returning to football with Manchester City in 2020, she excelled by scoring 16 goals in her debut season before suffering a significant ACL injury, leading to a critical period of recovery ahead of the European Championship success.
Before July 31, 2022 only the great Sir Geoff Hurst could claim to have scored a goal that won an England senior team a major trophy.
Kelly made her debut aged just 17, scoring her maiden senior goal in the same game against Watford.
She would eventually spend four years on Merseyside before leaving in 2020, rejecting a new deal.
In her debut season, she scored 16 goals and 14 assists from the position of right wing across all competitions.
