Ellen White got her European Women's Championship campaign truly under way against Norway by bagging a double in England’s record-breaking 8-0 win. The lethal striker has become renowned for her goalscoring prowess in both her club and international career.
She has spearheaded the Lionesses attack for the best part of a decade, racking up the goals in the process. She surpassed Kelly Smith as England Women’s all-time leading goalscorer at the end of last year, following a hat-trick against Latvia, before increasing her tally to 52 on Monday.
The Manchester City forward could overtake Wayne Rooney’s record of 53 to become the country’s greatest ever goalscorer on Friday when the Lionesses face off against Northern Ireland. With Harry Kane hot on the pair’s heels on 50, White will have to keep up the positive momentum to cement herself at the top.
