Olivia's pov-
Everyone is clapping, my mums are trying not to cry as well as auntie leah and rach as i jog onto the pitch, im striker with chloe kelly to my right and lauren hemp to my left with rach just behind me playing as a cam. Tje score is 2-2 at the 70th minute, the aim of the game is to score or assist, the ball is with Mary when i come on, us having a goal kick, mary kicks it upfield and momma headers it forward, rach picks it up but is soon tackled by Wendie Renard. Renard plays it out to the right back who plays a ball up the line but it is cut out by Alex, alex switches it to ck but she is tackled by there left back who passes it to midfield and onto the striker, Le Sommer, she dribbles past Georgia and then megs Leah which causes me to slightly laugh which is soon cut off by her shooting, Mary catches it and lies on the floor calming the game down, i look up at the clock, 87minutes, its now or never to score, Mary kicks it to Hemp who brings it down very nicely, she runs down the wing but is tackled by Almeida, she plays a loose ball into the middle which is cut out by momma, momma turns and looks at mum who is making a run down the wing, she pings it down the line straight into mums pass who runs onto it, i run into the box
Olivia-"mum!"
She crosses it in but its slightly behind me, oh god no, theres only one way i win this, i slightly adjust getting ready for it, i take a deep breath as i swing my one leg, all in or all out, this is yolo for real, i jump up swinging my left leg ready to hit the connection, i connect with the ball perfectly, i drop down slightly hitting and hurting my ribs, i turn my head as it ripples into the top corner, i jump up and run to mum kissing the tops of my wrist as i cant touch the tattoo with my mouth, i jump into mums arms and she catches me and holds me tight, momma is soon on top of us both hugging us, we are then joined by the rest of the team all around us cheering,
Lucy-"that was fucking amazing"
Keira-"no swearing around the baba!"
Leah-"but shes right kei, it was fucking amazing"
3rd Person Pov-
Commentator-"oh.my.god. what a goal! Intercepted by Walsh, who pings it across the pitch down the line to Bronze, Bronze crosses it in, its slightly behind Bronze-Walsh but shes making it work, shes jumped up with an overhead kick, made connection and GOALLLLLLL! OLIVIA BRONZE-WALSH ON HER SENIOR ENGLAND DEBUT HAS JUST SCORED AN OVERHEAD KICK ASSISTED BY HER MUM LUCY BRONZE! WHAT A STORY!
Alex S-"youll also see that it was also Keira Walsh who played that excellent ball over to Bronze to make this happen, what a beautiful story!"
Commentator-"its like Wembley Stadium(imagine there playijg at Wembley) stopped and held there breath!"
Alex S-"well i know one person who did if you look at the replay you can see a few of the girls holding there breaths as she jumps up including of course her mums but also Rachel Daly, Leah Williamson, what a goal!"
Commentator-"what a goal indeed"
Olivia's pov-
Oh my god, i cant believe i just did that! I scored! It actually worked, i cant believe it, i look at the clock, 90th minute, the 4th official puts 3 added minutes up, mums shouting as always but i can barely hear her over the sound of Wembley, i listen close, there singing about me?
Fans-"OLIVIA BRONZE-WALSH SHES ONE OF OUR OWN, SHES ONE OF OUR OWN, SHES ONE OF OUR OWN! OLIVIA BRONZE-WALSH SHES ONE OF OUR OWN!" I kiss the england badge as the ref blows her whistle for France to kick off again, the 3 minutes dont last very long and all i can think about is how the fans are still chanting my name at the final whistle, mum runs over to me and picks me up, putting me on her shoulders, She dances around the pitch to 'Freed from Desire'
Keira-"lucy put the girl down!"
Lucy-"but its funnnnnn"
Keira-"lucy"
Lucy-"fineeee"
Olivia-"noooo my legs tired"
Lucy-"seeee keiiii"

I give momma a hug before getting back on mums shoulders, we all walk around the pitch when a see someone.
Olivia-"wait mum stop!"
Lucy-"hm?"
Olivia-"l..look its m..m..millie?" I get off her shoulders and walk towards her, really confused "millie?"

Millie-"okay liv, amazing goal by the way"
