WATCH: Lauren James score superb goal vs South Korea and incredible player of the match performance.
Lauren James scored her first England goal in their 4 nil victory over South Korea on Thursday night.
Although the scoreline may seem like a walkover win for England, it was nothing of the sort as the Lionesses fought hard to seal the victory.
Crucial to their victory was Chelsea's Lauren James who did not only score in the 78th minute, but also assisted. She caught the eye all night with her incredible close control, wonderful balance and mesmerising ability to just dance past defenders. The Chelsea star is an almost impossible problem for any defence and she proved that again in this superb individual performance. Her run into the box won England the penalty that got them on their way and her goal was a superb strike.

On the ball she’s probably one of the best there is," England and Barcelona right-back Lucy Bronze said of 21-year-old James, speaking to reporters after the 4-0 victory.
"It’s fun for me to play with her because I know she’s always going to get the ball in the right place.
"It’s crazy she’s so young now, because this is the player that everyone has been talking about for five years now, we’ve been waiting for this superstar, and this is just the beginning. So it’s exciting to be here now at the start of her England career and I’m sure she’s going to score plenty more goals, have plenty more moments and have plenty more player-of-the-match awards for England in the future."
