Report: England WU17s 3-0 Germany
Natalie Henderson's Young Lionesses kick-off 2023-24 season with an impressive win
England women’s under-17s made a winning start to their new season on Friday evening after a 3-0 victory over Germany at St. George’s Park.
Natalie Henderson’s squad have been in camp this week as they prepare for this season’s UEFA Women’s U17 EURO campaign, with this game being the first of two matches against Germany in September.
And the Young Lionesses made an electric start, scoring three goals in the space of ten first-half minutes to set the tempo.
It was Isabella Fisher who opened the scoring in the tenth minute when Lola Brown did well down the left before flashing a low cross into the area for Arsenal’s Fisher to strike a low shot past the Germany ‘keeper.
Two minutes later, England doubled their advantage and this time is was another Arsenal player in Laila Herbert who curled home a long-range effort from outside the box.
Fisher then grabbed her second of the night when she planted a looping header home from Brown’s free-kick into the box to complete the scoring.
The nations will meet again in their second match of the window on Monday afternoon at 12pm BST.
