Courtney Brosnan 6. Having been busy in fine player of the match displays against Sweden and Finland, the Everton custodian will never get an easier game between the posts. She didn’t have to make a single save of note bar in the 40th minute when easily gathering Khatia Tchkonia’s long-range effort.

Niamh Fahey 8. On her 99th cap for her country, the Liverpool defender again slotted in on the right of the back three. With defensive duties at a minimum because of Georgia’s meagre attack, the 34-year-old even popped up with an assist for the fifth goal. Her shot then earned the penalty.
