England Women Dominate France in 4-1 Win in 2018 Friendly

England's women national football team cruised to a 4-1 win against France at the 2018 SheBelieves Cup in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday.

The Lionesses were supreme in Phil Neville's first match as manager, and they raced to a 3-0 half-time lead as France slumped in the international friendly.

Toni Duggan gave England a sixth-minute lead, and further strikes from Jill Scott and Jodie Taylor gave Neville's side a three-goal advantage at the interval.

Fran Kirby was on target immediately after the restart to make it 4-0, and the French appeared lifeless in a poor display.
