St Albans head coach Hannah Macleod helped Great Britain's women win their first Olympic hockey gold medal after a dramatic penalty shootout triumph over the Netherlands.

A gripping final in Rio finished 3-3 before Britain's keeper Maddie Hinch pulled off crucial saves as they won 2-0 in the shootout.

Macleod started tonight's final which saw GB take the lead through Lily Owsley. 

Kitty van Male and Maartje Paumen then fired the world champions in front.

Crista Cullen and Nicola White also scored, along with a second effort from Van Male, to take the final to a shootout. 

Helen Richardson-Walsh and Hollie Webb held their nerve to score the decisive penalties and spark wild celebrations as Great Britain landed their 24th gold of the Olympic Games.
