Report: England WU19s 4-0 Greece

England women’s under-19s made it two wins from two games in their UEFA Women’s U19 EURO qualifiers, following a 4-0 victory over Greece in Tallinn.

Lauren Smith’s squad are in Estonia for their three games in League A, which kicked-off with a 6-0 victory over the host nation on Wednesday.

And they put themselves in a strong position on Saturday morning after three goals in six first-half minutes put them in control.

Olivia Johnson got things underway after getting on the end of a free-kick from captain Rachel Maltby to open the scoring, before an own goal from Greece’s Konstantina Platania made it 2-0.

And Erica Parkinson added a third in the 24th minute to put Smith’s team in a commanding position at half time.

The game settled down after the break with England controlling possession and managing the game well, before the fourth goal arrived with five minutes remaining.

It was another Malty set piece which sparked it too, with substitute Taylor Warren the beneficiary this time to make it 4-0 and round-off another satisfying result for Smith and her squad.

England will finish the qualifiers with their third game on Tuesday morning (11am GMT) against Austria.
