England 1-0 Austria: Ellen White marks 100th cap with winning goal as Lionesses pass first real test of Sarina Wiegman’s reign to maintain perfect record in 2023 World Cup qualifiers

The first real test of Sarina Wiegman’s reign has been passed, just. And who else should be the match-winner but Ellen White?

On her 100th cap, the striker scored the only goal of the game to give the Lionesses victory over Austria. She is now just one goal away from matching Kelly Smith’s all-time record and two from breaking it.

This was a quiet afternoon for the Manchester City forward, who at times looked slightly isolated up front. But she only needs one chance and she was in the right place at the right time to meet Fran Kirby’s cross in the 39th minute.
