Everton boss lifts lid on Jess Park message after 'whirlwind' England debut

Brian Sorensen has said it was "really nice" to see Everton forward Jess Park score just 79 seconds into her England debut.

The 21-year-old, who is on loan from Manchester City, has been a standout performer for the Blues this season and her instant impact on Merseyside saw her earn her first senior international call up in September. Park joined up with England ahead of their clashes with the USA and the Czech Republic, however the attacker remained an unused substitute in both games and was inititally omitted from Sarina Wiegman's 25-player squad for the Lionesses' November fixtures against Japan and Norway.

However, after being called up to replace Chelsea's Fran Kirby, Park came off the bench in the 89th minute against Japan last week to cap-off a 4-0 victory for England at Murcia's Pinatar Arena. And the Everton boss has revealed he sent a congratulatory message to the youngster after her "whirlwind" debut.
