Albion star Katie Robinson set up a goal on her first start for England.

The winger crossed for Rachel Daly to head home the first of her double strike as the Lionesses beat Italy 2-1 in their second Arnold Clark Cup contest.

Robinson had previously won two caps coming off the bench.

The result extended the Lionesses’ unbeaten run to 28 games.

They took the lead after 33 minutes when Robinson sent in a well-placed cross from the right edge of the area for Daly who, sandwiched between two centre-backs at the edge of the six-yard box, nodded into the right corner for her 12th goal in an England shirt.

Robinson later fizzed a dangerous ball in the direction of Daly, who could not poke past the keeper.

Sofia Cantore levelled on 62 minutes amid controversy after former Albion defender Maia Le Tissier appeared to have seen the ball safely out of play.

Robinson departed at that point as part of a triple change.

Daly headed the winner nine minutes later before a crowd of 32,128.
