Euro 2022: David Beckham praises England for "amazing" 5-0 victory

David Beckham was full of praise for the Lionesses after their impressive 5-0 victory against Northern Ireland at Euro 2022. 

Fran Kirby opened the scoring for England, before Beth Mead grabbed her fifth goal of the tournament. 

Substitute Alessia Russo scored twice in the second-half, before Kelsie Burrows added to Northern Ireland’s misery with an own goal in the 76th minute. 

It was yet another record-breaking performance from England, who have now scored the most group stage goals in European Championship history following 1-0 and 8-0 victories against Austria and Northern Ireland respectively. 

These 14 goals surpassed the 11 goals scored by Germany in the group stage at Euro 2001, and the nine goals scored in the men’s tournament by France in 1984 and the Netherlands in 2008.

Beckham was clearly dazzled by the Lionesses’ performance, leaving a comment on their Instagram page: “Amazing result @lionesses @england
