Footballer Beth Mead named BBC Sports Personality of the Year ahead of Ben Stokes and Eve Muirhead

"This is for women's sport and women's sport heading in the right direction. Let's keep pushing girls, let's keep doing the right thing." The accolades are the latest in a long list this year where Mead has already been named Arsenal's player of the season for 2021-22, came second in the Ballon d'Or Feminin and won BBC's Women's Footballer of the Year award.
She has also helped England to qualify for next year's World Cup with a 100% record and without conceding a single goal.
