BRIGHTON: England rallied from the brink of elimination to beat Spain 2-1 after extra time and reach the semifinals of Euro 2022 thanks to Georgia Stanway’s stunning strike.
Ether Gonzalez’s opener had the hosts heading for an early exit, but Ella Toone rescued the Lionesses six minutes from the end of normal time before Stanway’s winner took England into the last four of a fourth consecutive major tournament.
Sarina Wiegman’s side will face Sweden or Belgium in the last four on Tuesday. England were given a boost pre-match with the return of Wiegman to the touchline after she tested negative for coronavirus earlier in the day.
The Lionesses had everything their own way in the group stage as they plundered 14 goals without reply against Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland.
