England Women secured a commanding four-nil victory over the Netherlands, keeping their hopes alive in the UEFA Women’s Euro tournament. The team, led by Sarina Wiegman, had faced a set back with a defeat to France in their opening match. However, they bounced back impressively, taking a commanding lead early in the match. Lauren James, returning from injury, shone brightly, scoring two goals before being substituted in the second half.

Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone added to the scoreline, contributing to what was a crucial win for the Lionesses. The team needed a strong performance to maintain their chances in the tournament, and this win alleviated the pressure they faced after the initial loss. Supporters, including Prince William, were seen cheering on the squad at the Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich.

Speaking after the match, James expressed her joy, stating that the goals reflected the team’s capabilities and determination. Stanway echoed her sentiment, highlighting the team’s commitment from the beginning to the end of the match. Wiegman praised her team’s exceptional response, emphasising how they displayed their strengths following their previous encounter.

The Lionesses now focus on their upcoming match against Wales, scheduled for Sunday, July Thirteenth. With a renewed spirit and a solid performance under their belts, England will be aiming to progress further in the championship.
