Eniola Aluko Unable To Break World Cup Duck As England Beat Mexico

Eniola Aluko failed to get off the mark after making eight appearances for England at the Fifa Women&rsquo;s World Cup which is taking place in Canada. <br /><br />Against Mexico tonight, the Chelsea striker was more lively in attack compared to The Three Lionesses opener with France.<br /><br />Before the interval the 28 - year - old would have given England the lead but she cracked her shot against the post.<br /><br />With the game still goalless in the second half, she saw her shot saved by goalkeeper Cecilia Santiago and would have given England a two - goal cushion after Kirby had opened scoring in the 71st minute.<br /><br />On 82 minutes, Carney scored an insurance goal for England before Ibarra pulled a goal back in injury time.<br /><br />Eniola Aluko, wearing the number nine shirt, was on the Moncton Stadium turf for 90 minutes.<br /><br />Photo Credit : fifa.com<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
