TRIUMPHANT Lionesses star Khiara Keating came down to earth with a bump yesterday when she was found guilty of failing to pay her car tax.
It came a day after the reserve goalie took part in the Euros winners’ open-top bus parade and visited Downing Street.

Khiara failed to appear in court so the case was proven in her absence by Tameside magistrates.
She was stopped in her VW Polo in Bury, Gtr Manchester, in December.
The tax had expired four months earlier.
Man City goalie Khiara, 21, of Westhoughton — who was pictured with the Euros trophy in London on Tuesday — was fined £440 and ordered to pay back duty of £79.17 and £20 costs.
In June, police dropped a charge of possessing laughing gas after she denied it.
The keeper told the BBC when the charges were dropped: “I’m relieved the charges have been dropped.
“As I’ve always said, I did nothing wrong.
“It’s been a difficult time, but I’ve always known the truth.
“Now I’m just looking forward to focusing fully on the Euros and spending time with my family.”
