Kelly On Target As England U20s Thrash Mexico

Everton Ladies forward Chloe Kelly was on target as England Under-20s booked their place in the World Cup knockout stages in France.

Trailing to Jacqueline Ovalle’s goal at the break, Mo Marley’s young Lionesses ran rampant after the interval.

Alessia Russo levelled just minutes into the second period before Kelly’s emphatic finish put England in front.

Georgia Stanway and her Manchester City teammate Lauren Hemp then completed the rout, with the latter netting a hat-trick.

Megan Finnigan also played throughout while Taylor Hinds was an unused substitute.

Former Blue Girls coach Marley’s side have now matched the best performance by an England Under-20s squad by reaching the last eight, emulating the teams of 2002 and 2008.
