The Numbers Behind England Women's 20-0 Win Over Latvia

When England's women's national team beat Latvia 10–0 in a UEFA Women's World Cup qualifier in October, that was bad enough. But evidently the Lionesses felt it needed to be twice as bad in the return fixture.

England set a national record with a 20–0 thrashing of Latvia on Tuesday, improving to 6-0-0 in group play with a goal differential of +53 (53 scored, 0 conceded). The 20 goals were scored by 10 players, four of whom netted hat tricks. One of those, Ellen White, became the all-time leading scorer in program history, with her three goals taking her career tally to 48.
