Thomas On as Sub as Reggae Girlz Beaten By England - Ipswich Town News
Natasha Thomas came on as a 62nd-minute sub for Jamaica as the ReggaeGirlz were beaten 7-0 by England in a friendly at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium.
The 29-year-old, the Blues’ record appearance-maker and goalscorer, was winning her third senior cap.
England dominated the game throughout and were four in front by the time Thomas was introduced with the visitors’ pinned back in their final third aside from the occasional break, which in the first half led to a corner from which they had a goal disallowed following a VAR check.
Thomas spent most of her time on the field joining her teammates’ defensive efforts but made an impression and on a rare Jamaica attack won a corner after her cross from the right of the box was deflected behind after a neat exchange of passes.
