Beth Mead's magic casts spell over Wembley as Lionesses maintain perfect record World Cup qualification record with 4-0 win over Northern Ireland

Beth Mead’s hat-trick heroics off the bench has left Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman with one of the first major selection headaches of her reign.

The Arsenal forward seized her moment in the emphatic win over Northern Ireland — with Wiegman using the star’s cameo as an example to her squad that everyone has a part to play ahead of a crucial two years.

Mead made history by becoming the first Englishwoman to score a treble at Wembley as Wiegman’s side also entered the record books by winning for the first time at the national stadium.
