In the aftermath of France’s show of force against Italy, England struck even harder during the Women’s Euro. In Brighton, the English crushed Ada Hegerberg’s Norway 8-0!
Victorious 1-0 over Austria in the opening match of the tournament, England have, of course, validated their ticket to the quarter-finals. As for Norway, they will have to beat Austria, victorious 2-0 from Northern Ireland earlier in the day, to pass the course of this group stage.
Nethany Mead on demonstration
With her hat-trick, Arsenal player Nethany Mead was the brightest in this meeting which turned too quickly into a demonstration. England were already leading 6-0 at the break. Overjoyed, the Dutch coach Sarina Wiegman took the opportunity to largely rotate before the hour mark with three substitutions from the 57th.
But the Lionesses had the fangs and one of the substitutes, Alessia Russo, distinguished herself by scoring a 7th goal with a header (7-0, 66th), before Mead scored her 3rd goal of the evening (8-0 , 81st), setting the record for the biggest victory of a Euro football, whether male or female.
This success also brings the unbeaten streak of the English to 16, a record for them, since the arrival of Wiegman on the bench, with a whopping 92 goals scored in this period of time, for 3 conceded.
