Georgia Stanway scored the winner for England against the USA at Wembley and fans have hailed her performance. In a thrilling first half, with the score at 1-1, the midfielder converted from the penalty spot to restore England’s advantage.

Despite some VAR drama, England managed to hold on to their lead and secure a first victory over the World champions in five years.

It was Stanway who was at fault for Smith’s goal, having been dispossessed cheaply by the forward in her own half. Yet, the Bayern Munich star responded in the best way possible, by calmly slotting her spot-kick past Alyssa Naeher.
