England Women enjoyed a successful weekend in LA Manga with wins for both the Under-23s and Under-19s team.
Mel Lawley struck twice in the U23s victory over Sweden on Thursday, and continued her rich vein of form with a goal on the stroke of half-time in Saturday’s 2-0 win over USA after Claudia Walker had opened the scoring.
And, 24 hours later at the same venue, England’s U19s defeated the Netherlands 5-0.
Sam Tierney opened the scoring on five minutes and Rinsola Babajide doubled the advantage before half-time.
Georgia Allen continued the momentum at the start of the second half and, after an own goal had made it 4-0, Mollie Rouse completed the scoring.
Mo Marley's U19s conclude their La Manga Tournament against Italy on Tuesday.
