Lucy Bronze on how she decided to blast her penalty down the middle (and score).

I often experienced this at parents evenings, a comment I heard often was along the lines of 'Being rubbish at maths hasn't done me any harm' 😞

Financial grammar tip. If you're dealing with numbers that could be negative don't use a dash as a separator, use a colon.
