Great header, that. Lovely ball from Hemp too.

What’s the rush when they score? No celebrating, just running to get the ball and restart.

We’re equal with Sweden on 7 points and both +3 GD at the moment.

This is a much better performance by England. Much more purpose to their forward play, they appear very determined.

Russo has been brilliant this first half.

Well played England. Much more like defending chamions. France not so much up for this game as they were on Friday, surprisingly. Think their changes have hurt them and Henry has been pretty woeful for them allowing our midfield to play a bit more. Still a bit worried about the balance of the England team. Nearly got caught a couple of times on a quick transition.

Mead has been a bit quiet tonight but Russo, Hemp and Toone (apart from her shooting) have all been decent and we do look a threat going forward.

We’re too open at the moment.

Ominous.

We have dropped our intensity a little, that and a few sloppy passes in our own half.

I’d be looking at replacing Russo with a false 9 type to flood the midfield more and use Hemp’s pace as an out.

Think I'd leave Russo on, she has been one of the few to keep pressing up top.

Clumsy by Williamson but silly by Tone, had space and turned into trouble.
