The Lionesses were defeated 1-0 by Spain, after a first-half drive from Olga Carmona, with Earps saving a second-half penalty in the enthralling encounter.
Ella Toone also started in Sydney, while Reds captain Katie Zelem was among the substitutes and made two appearances throughout her first major tournament with England.
Following the narrow defeat, Earps's Golden Glove award was confirmed, and Becks was quick to celebrate the stopper on his Instagram story.
"Congratulations on the Golden Glove," wrote the former United winger, tagging Earps in his story.
With England trailing in the second half against Spain, a penalty was awarded against Lionesses midfielder Keira Walsh for handball in the box.
