Lauren Hemp scored an impressive hat-trick as England's Young Lionesses beat Mexico in the under-20 World Cup.

England trailed 1-0 at half-time to a Jacqueline Ovalle goal but Alessia Russo levelled just after the break.

Despite the emphatic result and strong performance, one of Hemp's goals has gone viral.

Hemp appeared to have been impeded by the goalkeeper, however there was no need to award a penalty with the striker inadvertently squeezing the ball home as she landed awkwardly on top of it.

Hemp, who plays for Manchester City, cut inside from the byline when she was unceremoniously upended by goalkeeper Emily Alvarado.

The hat-trick hero is also the reigning PFA Women's Young Player of the Year and England’s Young Player of the Year in 2017.

Hemp played for Bristol City before joining Manchester City this season.
