Women's Euro 2022: England thrash Sweden

-

England 4 - 0 Sweden

A few words 24 hours after an amazing night in Sheffield.

ENGLAND LADIES 4 SWEDEN LADIES 0

England reached their first major women's tournament final since 2009 in emphatic fashion as they put four past Olympic finalists Sweden at Euro 2022 in Sheffield.

The Lionesses extended their unbeaten run to 19 games under manager Sarina Wiegman.

It was a senstational match from start to finish in Sheffield as Sweden piled on the pressure in the opening 25 minutes. England quickly dismantled them with ruthless finishing and a touch of class.

Substitute Alessia Russo once again produced a moment of magic when her instinctive backheel made it 3-0 to England only 11 minutes after her introduction.

Check out some of the best reaction to that backheel:

One fan told us: "That was amazing. The best moment of the tournament so far.

Another tweeted: "Did that just happen?

This Twitter user added: "Still not over the AUDACITY of this. Think women can’t play football? How about a backheel nutmeg in a Euros semi final. Exquisite."

Before all that Beth Mead put England ahead in the first half against the run of play, spinning and firing into the far corner,. Defender Lucy Bronze then headed in a second.

Fran Kirby put the icing on the cake when she chipped despairing Hedvig Lindahl to complete the win and send England fans into fantasy. Is it coming home?

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
