A superb display ensured the Lionesses reached their first World Cup final, dumping the old enemy and host nation Australia out of the tournament in the process
The heroic Lionesses became the first England side to reach a football World Cup final since 1966 with a stunning victory against Australia. Sarina Wiegman's side ran out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo in a dominant display.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak added his thoughts on the game, tweeting: “What a performance Lionesses. Just one more game to go… Bring on Sunday.” The Euros last year was the first time the England women's side had a shirt designed specifically for them and not just the same as the men's shirt. The Football Association says the new home kit pays homage to England's 1984 Lionesses, the first team to compete at a major tournament. That team also wore navy shorts.
