"No offence to Ms Earps, but shouldn't it have been given to someone who actually won something in 2023?, the Mirror reports.However, viewers were quick to hit back at Morgan with one tweeting: "Basically what happened was one year Beth Mead was voted by the public as the winner and then the following year Mary Earps was voted by the public as the winner."Another replied: "She sold more goalkeeper shirts than [Jordan] Pickford.
