Jessica Park his brace as Young Lionesses make it three wins from three

Friday 20 Oct 2017
John Griffiths led England to three wins from three

Jessica Park scored her fourth and fifth goals inside a week as England Women’s U17s rounded off their first set of Euro qualifiers in comfortable fashion with a 3-0 win over Scotland.

John Griffiths’s side had already sealed their place in the elite qualifying round with resounding victories over Latvia and Slovakia.

And they ensured they topped their first round group with nine points from nine.

Liverpool’s Annabel Blanchard broke the deadlock just after the half-hour mark and Park, who scored a hat-trick against Latvia, hit a second-half double to put a gloss on the scoreline.
