The 23-year-old, who has just finished a fantastic season with the Reds, also took on the Match Player for her contribution to the 4-0 victory over Switzerland. At halftime it was all squares with nothing separating the two teams into a goalless first half. The young Kokkinos created a series of opportunities for the lionesses before and after the halfway point. Rousseau opened the scoring in the 58th minute, with a header from a great cross by Rachel Daly. City Stanway of Georgia returned to the penalty spot and a few minutes later Beth Ingad scored the three-pointer with another header. In the final seconds, Jill Scott put the game to bed with a close shot. The score does not reflect the game although with Switzerland having many opportunities but it could not take advantage of them and England punished it. Next week England will start their Euro campaign at Old Trafford when they face Austria. They go to the tournament 14 games undefeated under Sarina Wiegman and are favorites to win the trophy. Alessia Russo will hopefully participate in the campaign to a large extent after the year she had and this performance is sure to help her a lot on the team sheet. Ella Toone appeared as a minor tonight, who has also impressed Wiegman since he became manager of the Lionesses. Mary Earps was in goal tonight and her net will undoubtedly serve her well when it comes to selecting the team in the coming weeks.
