Women’s Euro 2022: England thrash Northern Ireland, Austria beat Norway to reach quarterfinals

Lionesses
boss
Sarina
Wiegman
missed
her
side’s
final
group
game
after
testing
positive
for
COVID-19,
but
the
hosts
made
another
statement
at
St
Mary’s
Stadium
on
Friday
(July
15).

First-half
goals
from
Fran
Kirby
and
Beth
Mead
set
England
on
their
way,
as
they
became
the
first
team
ever
to
score
over
10
or
more
goals
in
the
group
stage
of
the
women’s
Euros
without
conceding.

Alessia
Russo
scored
England’s
third
just
minutes
after
coming
on
at
half-time
with
an
excellent
header
and
helped
herself
to
a
brace
in
the
53rd
minute,
when
an
exquisite
turn
on
the
edge
of
the
box
made
the
space
for
her
to
lash
home
and
make
it
4-0.

Kelsie
Burrows
summed
up
a
miserable
night
for
Northern
Ireland
when
she
scooped
into
the
back
of
her
own
net.

Group
A
winners
will
face
the
runners-up
in
Group
B
on
Wednesday
for
a
place
in
the
semi-finals.

Norway
headed
into
their
last
group
game
knowing
that
only
a
win
would
see
them
through,
due
to
their
inferior
goal
difference
after
they
were
thumped
8-0
by
England.

Austria
only
needed
a
draw,
and
they
went
ahead
after
37
minutes
when
a
superb
header
from
Nicola
Billa
nestled
into
the
bottom
corner.

Martin
Sjogren’s
side
were
unable
to
respond,
so
Austria
will
face
Germany
in
the
last
eight
at
the
Brentford
Community
Stadium
on
Thursday
and
Norway
are
heading
home.
