England ease past Switzerland in final Euros warm-up game

England concluded their Euros warm-up matches with another win as efforts from Alessia Russo, Georgia Stanway and substitutes Beth England and Jill Scott saw them defeat Switzerland 4-0 in Zurich.

The Lionesses went in front via Russo's 56th-minute header as the striker met Rachel Daly's delivery.

Stanway then doubled the lead with a penalty in the 74th minute, England nodded in two minutes later, and Scott subsequently made it four with a header of her own in stoppage time.

It was another strong second-half showing from Sarina Wiegman's side after they scored three goals after break when beating Belgium 3-0 at Molineux in their opening warm-up game, then four in the 5-1 victory over the Netherlands at Elland Road last week, with substitutes again making an impact.

And it makes it 12 wins in 14 games unbeaten under the Dutchwoman for England, who look in considerably good shape ahead of kicking off their home Euros campaign by playing Austria at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Wiegman made three changes to her starting line-up with Russo and Stanway coming in, along with Beth Mead, following her brace against the Dutch as a substitute.

Among those dropping out of the team was Lucy Bronze, ruled out due to illness, while record scorer Ellen White was back in the squad, on the bench, having been absent last time out owing to coronavirus.

After clearing a cross from Coumba Sow in the opening seconds, England were soon on the font foot and Fran Kirby looked certain to score in the fourth minute but her shot was saved by Seraina Friedli with her leg.

Lauren Hemp subsequently sent a strike into Friedli's arms, and Russo saw her stabbed effort claimed at the second attempt by the goalkeeper on the line.

At the other end, Mary Earps dealt
