In our previous round-up of this international break, we saw three different City players score four goals on the international stage, and the impressive form in front of goal has continued for the Foxes.

McLoughlin was on target for the young Lionesses, who after beating Netherlands in the first round, went on to win the U23 European Competition in Spain, beating Sweden 3-0. Our young midfielder played the full game, scoring just before the hour mark.

Lifting the trophy for the young Lionesses.

Turning attention to the World Cup qualifiers, it was a second win of the break for Hannah Cain and Wales, who beat Albania 1-0, thanks to a Rhiannon Roberts first half goal, to keep Cymru second in League B Group 1 with 10 points from four games.

Also playing in Europe was Sari Kees for Belgium, who were held to a second draw with Scotland. Having found the net against the UK nation in the previous leg, the central defender played another full game which saw the result end goalless at King Power at Den Draaf Stadion.

This means the Red Flames sit second in League B Group 4 with eight points; the same total as Scotland who lead the pack, and two ahead of third-placed Israel.

Representing the Matildas.

Over in central America, Chantelle Swaby played for Jamaica who beat Guyana 2-0, to extend their lead to three points at the top of Group B in the CONCACAF Qualification rounds, keeping their 100 per record intact.

Finally, Emily van Egmond played the first half in a 2-0 win for Australia over Kenya, in friendly action, which followed a 5-0 success over Malawi, in which our No.5 opened the scoring for the Matildas.
