The midfielder netted the fourth in the 9-0 win over Montenegro in Brighton last month, her 13th England goal in total, but it was her first for the Three Lions since the 2-2 draw with France in October 2012.
However, having moved from Everton to Manchester City during the off-season, Scott says she is already seeing the benefits of training eight times a week with The FA WSL newcomers.

She explained: “I sat down during the break and looked at a few areas where I feel I need to improve and shooting and goalscoring are two of those.
“Now that I’m training full-time with Man City I’ve been doing a lot of work on my shooting and I do feel like it’s getting better.
“It was quite nice to get that goal against Montenegro because I have been doing so much more work in front of goal. A few months ago that shot would have gone over the bar if I’m honest – in the Cyprus Cup I missed a couple of chances which I was frustrated with because I should have put them away.
“Obviously getting the win is always more important, but it was great for me on a personal level to be back among the goals. Hopefully I can add a few more before this campaign ends.”
A win and a 14th international goal over Ukraine in Thursday's World Cup qualifier would be sensible short-term targets for Scott, but she admits reaching the 100-cap landmark is in the back of her mind. Although she is 20 caps away, Scott admits she would be honoured to break through the triple figure mark.
She said: “At the last game someone actually came up to me and Eni Aluko and told us we were both on 80 caps. I don’t always check how many caps I’m on and I can’t believe how quickly that has come about.
“It’s crazy to think that I’ve managed to reach 80 caps but it’s something I’ll reflect on proudly when I’ve finished playing.
“To reach 100 caps would be a dream really. To look at the calibre of players that have reached 100 caps – Kelly (Smith], Fara [Williams], Casey [Stoney], Alex [Scott], [Rachel] Unitt – it would be amazing to join that list.
“But it’s a long way off yet and I’ve just got to be thinking about making sure I’m involved in the next squad.”
