Beth Mead and Fran Kirby score top scores in Lionesses defeat

Fran Kirby

Proving a constant threat up front, delivering two assists including drilling an inch-perfect cross to set White up for England’s sixth. 10

Lauren Hemp

Did brilliantly adapting her feet to convert Mead’s inviting second-place cross from the host to open her European Championship goalscoring account, before dropping Mead herself off for England’s fourth. 9

Ellen White

She cleverly turned her opponent inside out in the penalty area to win England’s opening penalty. Wrapped up a brace to end her mini-goal drought, which will give her a huge confidence boost. 9

Alessia Russo

Fired a warning shot as to why she should start after a downward header for England’s seventh. 8

Alex Greenwood

She looked lively when she came into the fray and was unlucky enough to miss out on the goal-fest when her shot hit the woodwork on the edge of the penalty area. 7

Ella Toon

Played a key role in keeping the intensity high as she came in and blasted through Norway’s jaded defences. 7

Chloe Kelly

Looked fiery when she came on, but did she do enough to earn a starting spot? Probably not. Float an inviting cross in the box that sailed over everyone’s heads.

Jill Scott

On her tenth appearance at a major tournament, Scott was there for a kickabout by the time she got on the field.
