Mead also had a goal assist in what was the only and defining goal for Arsenal against Barcelona on Saturday.
Beth Mead, born and schooled in Whitby, can now add Champions League winner to her long list of honours after Arsenal beat Barcelona in the Women's Champions League Final in Lisbon.
Mead played a stunning pass to substitute Stina Blacksteniu, who scored what proved to be the winning goal to give Arsenal the title.
Beth, from Hinderwell on the Yorkshire Coast, has won a number of domestic league and cup titles and in 2022 was named Player Of The Tournament at the European Championships, taking the Golden Boot too and being given the accolade of having the most assists.
England famously won that tournament.
After that high, Beth then suffered a serious injury but is now back enjoying her football again.
During her recovery, and before Scarborough Borough Council was merged into the new North Yorkshire Council, Beth was given the Freedom Of Scarborough in what was the council's last-ever meeting at Scarborough Town Hall.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
