Manchester United star Ella Toone broke the deadlock against Germany in the 2022 Women’s European Championships.
Several substitutes gave the Lionesses a new lease of life in the second half, and they deserve their lead thanks to Toone.
Toone was picked out by a brilliant through ball from Kiera Walsh and kept her cool to lob the goalkeeper.

It will be a remarkable achievement for England to win the Euros, but we will also be delighted for the United players involved. Not just Toone but Alessia Russo and Mary Earps.
However, with 10 minutes left on the clock, Germany have equalised so we are setting ourselves up for a dramatic end to the championships.
Well done to Toone for scoring such a memorable goal.
