Russo scores as Lionesses sweep aside Switzerland

The 23-year-old started England’s final warm-up fixture before the 2022 European Championship and netted in the 56th minute to break the deadlock, expertly heading Rachel Daly’s cross into the bottom corner.

Opening the scoring in Switzerland!

Russo’s goal opened the floodgates, as Georgia Stanway’s 74th-minute penalty and Beth England’s nodded effort just two minutes later put the game beyond the hosts.

Veteran Lioness Jill Scott came off the bench to round off the win, with another header in injury time.
