Manchester United forward Ella Toone reacts to scoring first England hat-trick 26 October 2021

As well as being on the scoresheet three times, our no.7’s influence on Tuesday night also saw her set up England’s third goal, scored by Manchester City’s Ellen White. 

That was before her evening’s work was rounded off with that hat-trick strike, which turned out to be her final touch of the game, before she was replaced on 68 minutes. 

The Lionesses went on to finish the job and make it four wins from four in their World Cup qualifying campaign, and they currently top Group D following their second double-digit victory in the space of three matches. 

Standing on the pitch with the match ball after the final whistle, Toone joked that she timed her third and final strike of the night to perfection.

“Last kick of my game it went in the net so I’m buzzing,” she laughed.

“I didn’t have a clue and then came off as soon as I’d scored the hat-trick so I’m happy with that!”

Ella Toone has her first @Lionesses hat-trick! 🥳
