Beth Mead shines again and super sub Alessia Russo impresses

Beth Mead shines again and super sub Alessia Russo impresses

Lauren Hemp

Her speed down the wing is unmatched and she remained engaged despite Mead’s dominance over her. 7

Ellen White

No goals this time, and a one-on-one with the goalkeeper missed in the first half. But always as energetic as ever, and played a key role in stretching Northern Ireland’s defences. 7

Alex Greenwood

The centre-back looked confident next to Williamson, but most of her searching crosses and passes missed the mark. 6

Jess Carter

She looked nervous as she got her first minutes at the European Championship and was beaten a couple of times on the England right wing, but grew into the game and made a good block in the penalty area. 6

Chloe Kelly

Made her signature rush down the right flank, but still lacked some of the presence she was known for her pre-injury. 6

Ella Toon

Toone, the youngest outfielder in this England squad, proves himself to be an effective impact substitute, providing the assist for Manchester United team-mate Russo. 8

Alessia Russo

The young England striker got a full second half to shine, and she did. Her second goal of the tournament – another header – came with her first touch of the match, and her stylish spin for her third showed why she is called up earlier than other more experienced forwards like Beth England. However, she missed a nanny for the hat-trick. 9
