England could have scored more than four. Both Russo and Lauren Hemp stole marches on their markers in the first half but saw headers flash wide. As Russo said on the eve of the match, they have several players in this squad who can turn the match in a blink of an eye. And that includes their goalkeeper Hannah Hampton.

England has got the defense of its Women’s European Championship title firmly back on track with a 4-0 win over the Netherlands, thanks to a Lauren James double.

England and Sarina Wiegman put right everything they had got wrong against France. Lauren James was moved back to the right side of the attack and showed her class with two superb strikes. Ella Toone came into the team and capped off a hard-working performance with a deserved goal.
