Scotland signed off from their triumphant Pinatar Cup campaign with a 2-1 win over Northern Ireland in Spain.

Shelley Kerr's side had already secured the trophy, winning both of their previous games without conceding a goal.

Liverpool midfielder Rachel Furness gave Northern Ireland an early lead with a fifth-minute header.

Scotland equalised after 34 minutes when Chelsea forward Erin Cuthbert curled a 25-yard effort into the top corner.

And they were soon in front as Birmingham forward Erin Grant drilled home a loose ball.

Early in the second half, Northern Ireland goalkeeper Jacqueline Burns made a smart save from Lucy Graham, with Sophie Howard's effort cleared off the line from the resulting corner.
