Chloe Kelly showed great sportsmanship by shooing cameraman away from devastated Nigerian keeper

Chloe Kelly showed great sportsmanship after England's penalty shootout victory in the Round 16 of the Women's World Cup.

The England star was seen consoling devastated Nigerian goalkeeper before shooing away a cameraman who was getting too close for Kelly's liking.

It was reminiscent of the time Kelly's fellow compatriot Jordan Pickford did a similar act when protecting Three Lions striker Harry Kane following his penalty miss which sent England crashing out of the 2022 World Cup.

A 10-woman Lionesses had just advanced to the quarter-finals of the Women's Word Cup, winning 4-2 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in regular time.

Lauren James' red card will be a major talking point in a pretty average performance from the reigning European champions.

However, one brilliant moment did come from the game when Kelly proved just why she's one of the most loved players in the game.

In the wake of the shootout, the Nigerian keeper collapsed to the turf, clearly overcome with emotion after her team's exit from the tournament.

After slotting the winning spot kick, Kelly spotted this and quickly rushed over to comfort the dejected Chiamaka Nnadozie.

An overzealous cameraman was keen to get a closer look at Nnadozie as she burst into tears on the pitch.

England star Kelly quickly intervened, though, shooing the official away before helping the goalkeeper to her feet.

It made for a very wholesome moment – one which fans loved too.

One person tweeted: "This is absolute class from Chloe Kelly."

While another added: "True ‘legend’ behaviour from Chloe Kelly. The Nigeria keeper Nnadozie is distraught after losing the shoot out and she’s telling the camera operator to get lost."

As a third commented "Also huge respect to Chloe Kelly for not really celebrating and going straight over to console Nnadozie, as well as telling the cameras to get lost zooming in on the Nigerian faces."

Classy stuff from the 25-year-old.

England now face the winner of Colombia and Jamaica.
