England fans roared their team off to a fantastic appearance in their final World Cup group game match against China on Tuesday, as the team raced to a 6-1 victory, setting up a tie with Nigeria in the last 16.
The Lionesses’ fans were thrilled at the team’s dominant display, which saw youngster Lauren James score two goals, with a third disallowed due to offside.
The striker was joined on the scoresheet by fellow striker Alessia Russo, Rachel Daly and substitute Chloe Kelly, who came off the bench to score her own goal after 76 minutes to take the Lionesses to a roaring 5-1 lead.
Within just four minutes of play striker Alessia Russo had got her foot to the ball after a sustained charge towards the Chinese defence which left the Lionesses 1-0 up.
Around 20 minutes later Lauren Hemp took them to 2-0 as a brand new set up amongst its players seemed to stump the Chinese defence.
