    With Switzerland already 3-1 up, Lehmann went through on goal after being played in by team-mate Geraldine Reuteler, cleverly evading the challenge of a defender before finishing into the bottom far corner with a slightly unconventional outside of the foot shot. The Aston Villa star then pulled out an imaginary fishing rod to reel in her catch.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    This was Lehmann's eighth international goal in her 49th senior appearance for Switzerland. With another warm weather friendly to follow against Poland on Tuesday, the 25-year-old is set to reach her half century of caps for her country in that game.

    WHAT NEXT FOR LEHMANN?

    Lehmann's Aston Villa have had a poor WSL season by the standards they set in 2022-23, when they finished fifth. Both Everton and Tottenham have suffered alarming drop-offs after finishing fifth in recent years and Carla Ward's side are hoping to break that trend. Villa are currently eighth out of 12 and at this stage just finishing in the top half would be a significant achievement. But upcoming league games against Liverpool and Everton after the international break present a good opportunity for wins.
