Dream debut for the Lionesses for Michelle Agyemang
The Lionesses won't remember Tuesday night fondly. After an amazing 5-0 win over Belgium, they lost 3-2 in the return match. They were already down in the third minute when Tessa Wulaert (Inter Milan) scored. Towards the end of the first half they were already 3-0 down, eventually Beth Mead (Arsenal) reduced the deficit from a penalty.
The Lionesses eventually lost for the first time in the Nations League, but for the young Lionesses the evening will remain fabulous for a long time. Michelle Agyemang was sent on in the 81st minute as a substitute for Jessica Park. It was the debut for the newly 19-year-old, who is currently on loan at Brighton, in her national team debut. After just 40 seconds on the pitch, she reduced the score to 3:2, giving England hope of an equaliser and becoming the english heroine of the evening.
