Everton Women’s international stars carried their good form from club level on to the global stage.
Justine Vanhaevermaet helped Belgium to an impressive 3-2 win over the Lionesses on Tuesday night.
The midfielder played every minute for the Red Flames and headed home in the 16th minute to help her side record a brilliant win against the odds.
Also on the scoresheet was Veatriki Sarri, who netted a sweet strike against the Republic of Ireland.
Her strike and excellent performance was not enough for Greece, though, as they fell to defeat in Tallaght.
In goal for the greens was Courtney Brosnan, who completed 90 minutes to secure another win for her side.
Kelly Gago came off the bench in the closing stages of France’s 2-0 victory over Norway in the UEFA Nations League.
The win saw her side qualify for the final four of the UEFA Nations League.
Hayley Ladd’s classy performance in the middle of the park was integral to Wales’ 1-1 draw with Sweden in Gothenburg.
The 31-year-old, who earned her century of caps over the previous break, played every minute for Cymru, who concluded the break in high spirits.
19-year-old Emma Watson claimed valuable minutes with Scotland’s senior side as the on-loan midfielder came on in the 75th minute against Germany.
The Tartan Army fell to a 6-1 defeat on the night, but fought well against the two-time world champions.
Sara Holmgaard was named in the starting XI as Denmark were beaten 3-0 by Italy.
The full-back also played every minute of the red and whites’ other fixture, helping her nation defeat Wales 2-1 in Cardiff.
Everton return to action on Sunday 20 April (1pm BST) as Brian Sorensen's side travel to face Manchester City.
