Sarina Wiegman gives her verdict on forward options after Rachel Daly double downs Italy

England manager Sarina Wiegman says her squad are giving her selection "headaches" after Rachel Daly's double secured a 2-1 win over Italy.

Daly scored a header in each half as the Lionesses edged out Le Azzurre in Coventry to make it two wins from two in the Arnold Clark Cup and stay top of the table. The Italians did pose a scare to Wiegman's unbeaten run as manager when Sofia Cantore bundled in a cross which originally looked to have run out of play just after the hour.

But Daly, who has scored 10 goals in the WSL this season, hit back with her second after good work from Lauren James to ensure England kept up their flawless start to 2023. Daly was regularly used as a left-back during the Lionesses' run to glory at Euro 2022 but is now becoming a serious option as a central striker for her country.
