Leah Williamson sends message to Arsenal team-mate Lotte Wubben-Moy after defender scores first Lionesses goal in Italy rout

A brace from Lauren Hemp and goals from Wubben-Moy,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-ella-toone-volley-lionesses-lauren-james-england-italy/blt757d8ee175a8740d#cs9b27b30ad4a0488d">Ella Toone and Rachel Daly</a> powered the<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-women-player-ratings-italy-lauren-hemp-ella-toone-lionesses/blt091450594cbbe580" target="_blank"> Lionesses to a 5-1 win over Italy</a> in an international friendly in Spain. It was just Wubben-Moy's third England cap, but she made it a memorable night by scoring just seconds after the first whistle to set the tone for the Lionesses' emphatic win. Williamson, who had to withdraw from the squad due to a hamstring issue, kept a close watch on the action in Spain and had a little message for her Arsenal teammate on her special day.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Williamson wrote: "Who you are" while sharing a celebration picture of Wubben-Moy along with other players. <picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltfcbc1d8d5590796f/Snapinsta.app_430352347_367181539565185_5763186279430076820_n_1024.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltfcbc1d8d5590796f/Snapinsta.app_430352347_367181539565185_5763186279430076820_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltfcbc1d8d5590796f/Snapinsta.app_430352347_367181539565185_5763186279430076820_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Williamson Insta post" data-source="" data-copyright="@leahwilliamsonn Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltfcbc1d8d5590796f;width:1179;height:2096"></picture>

WHAT WILLIAMSON SAID

Wubben-Moy's celebration was a &nbsp;<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/lionesses-lotte-wubben-moy-arsenal-bristol-city-conti-cup/bltf7e6992ec8f11698" target="_blank">tribute to an inspirational, deaf England fan, Izzy,</a> with whom she had a brief encounter back in July 2023. It is a fun move which<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-lotte-wubben-moy-celebration-lionesses-italy/blt23f0837656bb7be1#cs3161ca7586c0c870" target="_blank"> involves a brief yet rapid shake of the hips</a> with the arms crossed against each other.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Although Wubben-Moy will be back in action on Sunday in a north-London derby against Tottenham with the Gunners, Williamson's return date cannot be ascertained. Arsenal are third in the WSL standings but just three points behind joint-leaders Chelsea &amp; Manchester City who are on 34.
