Young star Kendall earns praise from Wiegman
Lucia Kendall was already living the dream, slotting into life in the Women’s Super League after she joined Aston Villa from Southampton this summer with an ease that earned her a first senior call-up in October.
In the cold and rain at St Mary’s against Ghana on Tuesday night, it took her just six minutes to ensure the dream remains a recurring one, slotting in from close range after Bénédicte Simon had scuffed her clearance from Chloe Kelly’s cross and the ball fell fortuitously at the midfielder’s feet.
