Prince William and Boris Johnson led the celebrations as England reached the Women’s Euro final after powering past Sweden with a thrilling 4-0 win ⚽️
Goals from Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze, Alessia Russo – whose audacious backheel soon had the words ‘what a goal’ trending on Twitter – and Fran Kirby helped the Lionesses reach their first major final since 2009.
They can now look forward to a showdown on Sunday with either Germany or France at a sold-out Wembley, where victory will secure them the first major trophy in their history. It will be a third appearance in the competition’s final after the runners-up finishes of 13 years ago – when they suffered a 6-2 loss to Germany – and at the inaugural Euros in 1984, which saw them beaten on penalties by Sweden.
Beth Mead celebrates with teammates Lucy Bronze, Rachel Daly and Ellen White after scoring their team’s first goal Alessia Russo celebrates after her outrageous backheel made it 3-0 Following a shaky start for the Lionesses in which Sweden’s Stina Blackstenius hit the bar, Mead – already leading the race for the Golden Boot – put Sarina Wiegman’s side ahead with a 34th-minute strike that took her to six goals for the tournament.
Mead then turned provider early in the opening moments of the second half, delivering a corner that was headed in by Bronze, before substitute Russo notched her fourth goal of these finals with a delightful back-heeled effort in the 68th minute.
