US Women’s National Team star striker Alex Morgan came up huge on her 30th birthday, scoring the game-winning goal in the team’s 2-1 win over England.
The US and England went back-and-forth in an end-to-end match that featured plenty of action, with Christen Press striking first, but goal-scoring leader Ellen White getting the equalizer in the 19th minute.
But Morgan didn’t allow the match to be tied for long.
She made a great run on a ball played into the box, and then drilled the ball home with her head to give her team the lead. Not only that, she essentially taunted her British foes with a celebration that entailed her making it look as if she was sipping tea.
