GEORGIA
Stanway scored twice and added an assist to get England's World Cup qualifying campaign off to a winning start with a 6-1 victory over Ukraine in Antalya.The ongoing war in the hosts' home country saw the contest staged in Turkey, where Ukraine stubbornly held strong in a goalless first half.
Alessia Russo got the scoring started with a quickfire double after the break before Yana Kalinina replied two minutes before the hour.
Stanway restored England's two-goal advantage with a penalty six minutes later, then found the back of the net again with 20 minutes remaining before Jess Park fired in two more.
Russo had forced Kateryna Samson into a save as the game got underway, and Ukraine were dealt an early blow when Glasgow City forward Nicole Kozlova went down off the ball and was removed from the pitch on a stretcher.
