Salmon hails collective effort.

She said: “That was a great performance from the whole team. We have been working so hard over the international break, this week especially and that has shown tonight in us getting the result we wanted.

“I’ve seen Abi get on the ball and I was head down to get to the back post. It was a great ball and I’ve managed to control it and tuck it into the bottom corner. Those are the finishes that I have been working on in training, so when it comes to situations like that, I can get the job done.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence from my debut with the Lionesses and coming back into this game we all knew it was a massive opportunity for us.

“We didn’t put too much pressure on ourselves, but we had confidence that we could get the three points and it’s a huge result, which takes us off the bottom of the table.”
