Report: England WU17s 11-0 Ukraine
Natalie Henderson's side clock up double figures in their first UEFA Women's U17 EURO qualifier in Estonia
England Women’s under-17s started their EURO qualifying campaign by hitting double figures in an 11-0 victory over Ukraine.
Natalie Henderson’s squad are in the Estonian capital of Tallinn for their three games this week, and got off to a flying start at the Kadriorg Stadium on Friday afternoon.
It took the Young Lionesses 20 minutes to break the deadlock when Leicester City’s Ava Baker got the first of her four goals, before she added her second from the penalty spot seven minutes later after Mari Ward had been brought down.
Captain Lexi Potter added the third just before the half-hour mark before Michelle Agyemang set up Laila Harbert for the fourth after 32 minutes.
Agyemang then made it five in spectacular fashion by smashing home an acrobatic volley to round off a spell of five goals in 13 minutes.
Baker completed her hat-trick in first-half stoppage time before the teams resumed for the second half.
Ukraine didn’t get much of a break as Potter got her second of the game just four minutes after the restart before Baker added her own fourth and England’s eighth.
A quickfire double in the space of five minutes from Maddy Earl saw the Young Lionesses clock their ninth and tenth before substitute Vivienne Lia completed the scoring in stoppage time.
Henderson’s side will be back in action on Monday afternoon when they play group hosts Estonia.
