Hannah Hampton revealed she threw Spain's Cata Coll's water bottle into the stands to disrupt Spain's penalty tactics during the European Championship final. England retained the trophy after a penalty shootout victory, with Hampton's strategic move contributing to the win. Hampton had crucial insider information on her arm and successfully saved two attempts, while the Lionesses won 3-1. Hampton described her action as simple yet effective, noting the moment was amusing while being competitive.
"The Spanish keeper had it on her bottle, so I thought when she was going in goal I'll just pick it up and throw it into the English fans so she can't have it."
"I never put it on a bottle because anyone can do that, so that is why I put it on my arm, and the TV caught that."
