England dismantled Belgium in their Women's Nations League encounter and their first of five goals carried a hint of déjà vu.
Lucy Bronze headed home the opener from a cross by Chelsea teammate Lauren James to put the reigning European champions into the lead at Ashton Gate.
The defender was making her 130th appearance for the Lionesses and also extended a familiar trend after finding the net against the Red Flames.
Three of Bronze's 17 international goals have now come when facing Belgium, making them the most prolific opponent she has faced.
Her first against them also arrived, remarkably, at Ashton Gate back in 2023.
Maybe it was written in the stars!
