Beth Mead has won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award for 2022.

The Arsenal and England star lifted the prestigious title after playing a major part in guiding the Lionessess to European Championship glory over the summer. 

The Whitby-born 27-year-old was the top scorer in the tournament that saw Sarina Wiegman's side land the honour of the best team in Europe after beating Germany 2-1 after a never-to-be-forgotten final at Wembley in July.

Ever modest Mead was quick to pay tribute to her colleagues and teammates which included Arsenal and England captain Leah Williamson. 

Mead said: "I might have scored a few goals but I couldn't have done it without the girls."
