Georgia Stanway and Alessia Russo were on target as England won their Euro 2025 qualifier in France 2-1 to avenge their home defeat four days earlier
England stunned the group leaders France in Saint-Étienne with a 2-1 victory that kept their Euro 2025 qualification hopes very much alive.
In contrast the France manager, Hervé Renard – returning to the sideline after serving a suspension – made two changes. He opted to bring in the experience of Amandine Henry and Grace Geyoro into midfield with Sakina Karchaoui pushed up to provide support to the attack. The Lionesses did not take their foot off the gas and continued to outplay their opponents. They made their lead more comfortable 10 minutes from the break when Russo broke through the French defence to head home Hemp’s pinpoint delivery. She had been knocking at the door all evening and capped off a hat-trick of chances with the instinctive finish. It was a goal that left France with plenty of thinking to do as they trudged off the pitch somewhat desolately at half-time.
