Internationals: Matildas secure Olympic spot

Caitlin Foord celebrates scoring against Uzbekistan with Mary Fowler

Three more of our Gunners secured their place at this summer's Olympic Games after Australia won their qualifier against Uzbekistan. 

Caitlin Foord was on the scoresheet and Steph Catley provided two assists during the Matildas' 10-0 thrashing, with Kyra Cooney-Cross playing the full game. 

The Australian duo will join Laia Codina (Spain), Emily Fox (USA), Cloe Lacasse (Canada) and Sabrina D'Angelo (Canada) in Paris this summer.

The Olympic fate of Vivianne Miedema and Victoria Pelova was sealed by a playoff against Germany, which the Netherlands lost 2-0. Neither Miedema nor Pelova made an appearance. 

Over in Europe, Lotte Wubben-Moy scored her very first goal for the Lionesses in England's 5-1 win over Italy. Our centre-back made it 1-0 in the very first minute of play with a beautifully guided header, and went on to be voted the Player of the Match. 

Alessia Russo played the first half of the match for the Lionesses and after 90 minutes against Austria, Beth Mead was not involved against Italy.

Frida Maanum also picked up a Player of the Match award for her contributions to Norway's 5-0 win over Croatia.

Our midfielder scored two wonder goals in the tie - her first coming straight from a long-range free-kick that beat the keeper at the near post and her second, a fine solo run past Croatian defenders with a cool, slotted finish. The win means that Norway remain in UEFA Nations League A.

Stina Blackstenius was on target for Sweden in their 5-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, which also secured their position in League A. Blackstenius received the ball on the turn, took two touches to stride into the penalty area and scored with a lovely, nestled finish in the bottom corner. 

Young Gunner Vivienne Lia scored in England U19's comeback against Norway on Tuesday afternoon, hitting a powerful strike from just outside the area. The game finished 2-2. 

The USA suffered their first loss on home soil since the year 2000, as Mexico won 2-0 in their last CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup group-stage match. 

Right-back Emily Fox was subbed off in the 71st minute as the USWNT searched for an equaliser, but Mexico ended up consolidating their victory with a fantastic strike from Mayra Pelayo-Bernal in stoppage time. Fox and the US are already through to the quarter-finals of the competition. 

Ireland were beaten 2-0 by Wales on Tuesday evening, with captain Katie McCabe substituted in the second half.
