Aluko hopes to keep HER world cup dream alive
Lionesses striker yet to score a World Cup goal in seven attempts but hopes to change that against Mexico
ENI ALUKO hopes to banish her demons from four years ago by helping England beat Mexico on Saturday, vowing yesterday to do all it takes to get the win.
Aluko received abuse via social media after a 1-1 draw against Mexico in the group stages in 2011, when she wasted a number of glorious chances.
