Mead scores as England reach Euro final

Leah Williamson, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Nikita Parris and Beth Mead all booked their place in the final of Euro 2022 on Tuesday night, as England defeated Sweden 4-0 at Bramall Lane.

With Sarina Wiegman naming an unchanged line-up for the fifth consecutive game, captain Williamson and Mead were handed starts, while their Arsenal teammate Stina Blackstenius lined up on the other side.

Sweden started strong on the night too, taking a direct approach to their play with a number of searching passes beyond the England defence. Blackstenius had a golden chance to open the scoring early on after being played through on the counter, but she dragged her effort and failed to finish past Mary Earps.
