'She is so powerful' - Umotong backed to deliver more goals for Lewes

Ini Umotong extended her fine goalscoring form for Lewes against Blackburn Rovers on Sunday and coach Simon Parker has backed her to deliver more goals this season.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Rocks in January on an 18-month contract from Swedish Damallsvenskan outfit Vaxjo, made her fifth appearance against Gemma Donnelly's side.

In her 85-minute appearance, Umotong scored from the penalty spot in the 13th minute to hand Parker's team the lead before Rhian Cleverley and Danielle Lane took their turns to seal a 3-0 victory.
