Fulham Ladies travelled to Barnet with seven regular players missing from the squad, but still won the National League South Division game 7-1.
Rachel Yankey, Katie Chapman, Rachel Unitt and Layla Young were all on England duty in Portugal, while Lyn Rebecca Mork and Lene Terp were injured. Kim Jerray-Silver missed the game with a chest infection.
After a slow start to the match and the appearance of a streaker on the pitch the game livened up and Kristy Moore opened the scoring for Fulham. Captain Marianne Pettersen then scored four goals between the 21st and 44th minutes to create a commanding lead.
Sanchia Duncan scored twice in the second half, before Barnet got a consolation goal on 80 minutes.
Manager Gaute Haugenes said: "With so many regular players out, it was an opportunity to give some young reserve players a chance to experience play at this level."
