Norway and Switzerland into World Cup last 16

Three more of our Gunners are through to the last 16 of the Women’s World Cup as Norway and Switzerland both progressed from Group A.

Heading into this game, Norway’s fate was somewhat out of their hands - needing a win but also relying on Switzerland to hold New Zealand to at least a draw.

The Norwegians answered the call, storming to a deafening 6-0 victory against the Philippines.

They made an early breakthrough through Frida Maanum’s hard work and spirit, driving at the Philippines' defence and winning back the ball at the edge of the area.
