She was an Academy player when I was at Arsenal and she used to come up to training and was sometimes involved in match squads."I kid you not, she would do that in training. She is an incredible box player, an unbelievable finisher. She doesn't need more than one or two touches exactly what you saw against Belgium."It was a hard loss for England, but I hope she gets her moment because that is unbelievable to come on and take 41 seconds to get your first senior goal. And what a goal. She didn't even celebrate. I get it with the context of the game, but I hope deep down she is absolutely buzzing because I am for her."She has made a name for herself now. There is no better intro to a senior squad than that in an international debut. I was shouting in my living room for that one."Listen to Women's Football Weekly on BBC Sounds
