Video: United Women star transfers razor-sharp club form to international stage with stunning brace

Manchester United Women had numerous players in international action yesterday evening. Jess Park The United starlet discussed how she wanted to use her club form to launch her international career, and she got off to the perfect start. Park scored two goals in England’s 6-1 demolition of Ukraine in World Cup qualifying. In the 78th minute, the ball was whipped across goal and Park showed great instinct to turn in the pass. She grabbed her second in the 89th minute when she tucked inside and launched a trademark dipping long-range effort, giving the Ukrainian keeper no chance.

Melvine Malard The French striker was also the heroine for her national team as they came from behind to beat the Republic of Ireland 2-1. She scored a wonderful goal on 71 minutes when she waltzed through the Irish defence and slotted home a calm finish to bring her side level. The United attacker completed the comeback on 78 minutes, when the ball finally landed to Malard in the box and she spun and struck a fine effort into the bottom corner to bring her side level. Lisa Naalsund The Norwegian has had a strong season for United, and she was the hero for her national team as she scored the only goal of Norway’s 1-0 win over Austria. The United midfielder swept in an effort from the middle of the box in the 81st minute to give her side the lead. Lea Schuller The German star scored her nation’s fifth as they comfortably dispatched Slovenia 5-0. She fired in her effort with her left foot from inside the area to put the cherry on top of the cake after 71 minutes of play. Dominique Janssen The United veteran was also involved for the Netherlands, starting at centre back. She captained her side and played the entire 90 minutes of their 2-2 draw with Poland. Swedish trio Finally, Julia Zigiotti and Hanna Lundkvist both started for Sweden in their impressive 1-0 win away to Italy. Fridolina Rolfo also came on as a substitute in the game in her return to full fitness.
