Hampshire hockey star Alex Danson scored twice as Great Britain came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in the Investec Private Banking International at The Lee Valley Centre this afternoon.

The visitors took the lead in the 25th minute from the spot as Yukari Yamamoto converted a penalty.

However, a second half brace from Southampton-born Danson, with the winner coming just two minutes from time, gave Great Britain victory.

“It’s always great to score but it was the goal from the penalty corner which I enjoyed the most,” said Danson.

“We’ve worked hard on those, so to score a team goal and celebrate as a team is fantastic.”
