Rachel Daly makes admission over position debate after match-winning two goal display

Rachel Daly insists she is happy to play anywhere for England after scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Italy - but conceded playing up top comes "naturally".

The Lionesses made it two victories from two in the Arnold Clark Cup with Aston Villa's Daly heading home twice, after she was deployed as a centre forward by manager Sarina Wiegman. It means that the WSL's joint top goalscorer has three goals in the last two internationals she has started as a striker.

But Daly was used at left-back throughout the successful run at the European Championship last summer and has continued to feature there for England since. At club level, since moving to Villa she has played exclusively as a forward and has produced goals in return.
