England

Alessia Russo on England’s performance against Ukraine: I think it was a game of two halves. After first half, we were still happy with how we were playing, wanted to be more ruthless and we were aware of that. We were dominating the ball but just needed to create the final pass.

“You saw that in abundance in second half. Everyone is in a good place, confident. People are loving playing for England and the second half showed that.”

On being the second top goalscorer in the current squad: “I love scoring and playing for England, when get to do them both, it’s incredible.

“We’re really focused on winning every game. Whether I can contribute, or even a good performance, happy with that. Ultimately I am a striker, so love to be involved in goals.”
