Mollie Rouse bagged a hat-trick as England concluded their UEFA European Women’s Under-19 Championship Elite Round Qualifier campaign with a comprehensive defeat of Czech Republic.
Already assured of top spot in Group 2 and a place at the Finals, England were determined to finish their week in Turkey on a high.
Rouse got the ball rolling when she slid in for the opening goal from close range on 18 minutes.
And the Aston Villa midfielder had completed her hat-trick before half-time, but only after Rianna Dean and Georgia Stanway netted.
After some respite for Czech Republic, Zoe Cross grabbed England’s sixth on 67 minutes, turning in a corner.
And Dean completed the scoring in the final minute, before their opponents’ misery was compounded when Tereza Krejcova was cautioned twice within 60 seconds to see red.
