SCOTT DOUBLE PUTS LIONESSES BACK ON TOP

ENGLAND Women returned to the top of their World Cup qualifying group with a 3-1 win in Russia. Phil Neville’s side are now two points clear of Wales at the top of Group 1, with only the first-placed team guaranteed to qualify. Nikita Parris and Jill Scott scored almost identical back-post headers before Manchester City’s Scott volleyed home her second of the game. Elena Danilova’s strike for Russia was the first goal England have conceded in their six group games.
