Lauren James explains what's driving her current form after scoring in Lionesses rout

England star Lauren James believes her difficult 2021-22 season is driving her sensational recent run of form.

James, 21, scored her first international goal in a 4-0 rout of South Korea as England made a flying start to 2023 in the Arnold Clark Cup. The Chelsea forward won the player of the match in a superb display, winning a penalty for the Lionesses' opener, scored by Georgia Stanway and also firing in the fourth on the edge of the penalty area.

After a dazzling display, England captain Leah Williamson described her as a "cheat code" after the game, while Sarina Wiegman labelled her "an outstanding talent." James is one of the WSL's in-form forwards and is now looking to secure her spot in England's starting XI.
