Lionesses proud over Kazakhstan victory

LIONESSES Melissa Lawley and Nikita Parris expressed their pride after Tuesday night’s 5-0 victory over Kazakhstan.

Lawley enjoyed a dream full debut, opening the scoring in Colchester, while Parris picked up two, helping England on their way to three wins in three World Cup qualifying matches.

Man City’s Lawley told the FA: “It’s obviously a very proud moment for me and my family that I got my senior debut tonight,” having made an appearance from the bench in last week’s rout of Bosnia & Herzegovina.
