Leah Williamson celebrates 50th England cap in style 🦁

England skipper Leah William marked her 50th cap for her country on Tuesday with a goal.

The Arsenal star opened the scoring for the Lionesses during their friendly against South Africa after around 10 minutes of action.

Manager Sarina Wiegman made eight changes in Coventry but opted to keep the captain in the starting XI and she repaid her boss for the decision.

Williamson was left unmarked in the box and, after some pinball, drilled home a low drive into the bottom right corner.

It’s only her fifth goal for the national team, and it’s the first of the year since she returned to play from her ACL injury in January.

An all-around celebratory night for the Gunner.
