England came into the game in need of a win after a disappointing start to their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign, including a defeat to France last time out.

England went on to double their lead through Alessia Russo just before half-time. The Arsenal star headed home from close range after a ball in from Lauren Hemp. The goals make it a dream start to the game for Sarina Wiegman's side who know a victory will cut the gap on group leaders France and breathe fresh life into the team's qualification hopes.
