England Women set the record for the biggest win in women’s European Championship finals history with an 8 – 0 win over Norway on Monday.
It was quite the palette cleanser following their uneventful opening win over Austria – against their projected toughest opponents no less.
Despite having one group game left to play against Northern Ireland, England Women have now qualified for the quarter finals.
The 8 – 0 victory surpassed their own record from 2017 when the England Women beat Scotland 6-0.
