England are into the finals of the 2022 Women’s European Championship thanks to a rousing 4-0 win over Sweden in Sheffield.
There was concern that Lauren Hemp was offside in front of Swedish goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl, but VAR ruled in England’s favour.
Sweden were still looking dangerous, with the likes of Stina Blackstenius posing a threat, but the Lionesses ended the match as a contest thanks to a special Russo goal on 68 minutes. The 23-year-old had very nearly produced a goal just seconds after coming on when she crossed for Hemp, only to see a shot come back off the bar, but Russo sorted it out herself 10 minutes later.
The Manchester United forward had a good chance saved by Lindahl, but she pounced on the rebound, facing away from goal she caught the ‘keeper off guard with a backheel which nutmegged the stopper.At 3-0 the game was over, but Kirby rubbed salt in Swedish wounds as a long range effort should really have been stopped by Lindahl, but she could only palm it up and over her head and into the net.
At 4-0, the home team took their foot off the gas a little with 15 minutes to play and eased their way into Sunday’s final.I’ve been a lifelong football fan – but it took the Lionesses to get me into the women’s game
