Wolves Women hat-trick hero Tammi George hailed as key leader after FA Cup rout

George opened the scoring in the eighth minute and added two more strikes either side of the break to complete her treble inside 51 minutes. 

Rachael Quigley also bagged a brace while goals from Beth Merrick and Abi Loydon capped a comfortable win. 

"You saw a different side of Tammi today. A side that not all of us see - a leader," McNamara noted. 

"I think she led from the midfield and really drove the girls on and drove the standards. She was rightly rewarded with the hat-trick and I am delighted for her. 

"She has started the season the same as she did last year. The consistency has always been the thing with Tammi and she is proving now that she has developed into a superb player."
