  WHAT HAPPENED?

  During Soccer Aid, the annual charity match that sees ex-pros and celebrities team up to raise money for Unicef, White became the first female player to score in the game. She was largely indebted to ex-Arsenal star Wilshere, who beat his former team-mate Petr Cech and two defenders with a mazy dribble before finding White, who tapped into an empty net.
