Published on: 08 April 2025

Arsenal teenager, Michelle Agyemang, marked her England Women's debut with a stunning strike against Belgium Women on Tuesday evening in the UEFA Nations League.

The player on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion earned a late call-up into the national team on Sunday to replace Alessia Russo for the clash against the Belgium Women's national team.

On the matchday, England trailed after just four minutes into the first half after Tessa Wullaert equalised to give Belgium an early lead.

Later in the 16th minute, Justine Vanhaevermaet, also found the back of the net to double the lead for the hosts.

In a game where England struggled for most parts of the first half, Tessa Wullaert was the star for Belgium, scoring her second in the 29th minute to make things difficult for the visitors.

Before halftime, Bethany Mead pulled one back for England after converting a spot kick.

Michelle Agyemang’s moment came in the 80th minute when she was introduced into the match, replacing Jessica Park.

The talented teenager who is of Ghanaian descent made an immediate impact, scoring with a stunning volley just a minute into her debut.

Unfortunately, it was not enough to propel England to complete a comeback, as the Three Lionesses lost 3-2 at the end of the contest.
