Manchester United star Alessia Russo came off the bench to score an audacious goal and send heroic England to the Euro 2022 showpiece courtesy of a stunning 4-0 win over Sweden at Bramall Lane.
England face Sweden on Tuesday for a place in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley five days later.
Maybe it’s a symptom of the impatient world we inhabit but, whenever a young talent emerges, there seems an almost inevitable clamour for this new star to start every game. In England’s case that is now applying to Alessia Russo after the Manchester United striker’s impressive performances as a substitute during England’s first four Euro 2022 games.
For any of the 7.6 million BBC One viewers who tuned in to watch England’s dramatic extra-time defeat of Spain in the quarter-finals of the Euros on Wednesday night, the sight of an animated blond Dutch woman on the touchline will not have gone unnoticed.
When Ella Toone’s equaliser hit the net on Wednesday night, the midfielder Jill Scott hugged her England teammate Rachel Daly, who had slumped on to the bench two minutes earlier. It was a brief moment of comfort, with the arms saying: ‘It’s all OK.’ Daly had struggled in England’s 2-1 quarter-final defeat of Spain. The half-time introduction of Real Madrid’s Athenea del Castillo caused the makeshift left-back all sorts of problems and the 21-year-old forward made light work of Daly’s misjudged challenge before delivering for Esther González to fire Spain in front. No player will have a perfect game every time, but with Spain a higher level of opposition England’s weaknesses were exposed. Sarina Wiegman has shown she likes to stick with an established XI. Daly, meanwhile, is not likely to slump into the shadows after a poor match but, equally, she is not a natural left-back. Daly plays as a No 9 for Houston Dash and has deputised for Lucy Bronze at right-back for England in recent years. She is versatile, perhaps the most versatile player in the squad, but the further England progress the greater the test of just how well she has adjusted to the position. Wiegman has options, with Demi Stokes a strong defensive left-back and Alex Greenwood, only recently converted to a centre-back, offering something different when it comes to set pieces.
Gareth Taylor has backed Manchester City striker Ellen White to start for England during the Euro 2022 semi-final showdown against Sweden or Belgium on Tuesday night.
The Women's Euros 2022 kicks off July 6 with England as the host nation. 16 teams will contend for the title and ESPN FC will be there for all the drama and excitement!
Oof. Is that the time? Just give us a minute, will you. The Fiver celebrated a bit too hard last night. When Ella Toone’s equaliser hit the back of the net to emphatically end 30 minutes of hurt, we jumped up so fast our head cracked the low ceiling of our single-room pied-à-terre. When Georgia Stanway lashed home that extra-time winner, Weird Uncle Fiver clobbered us with our own Ellen White cardboard cutout. Looks like we’ve got The Fever again, and who can blame us? England’s indomitable Lionesses are in the Euro 2022 semi-finals!
