A "clear win" was what Sarina Wiegman wanted from her England side against Ukraine - and that was what the Lionesses delivered. How the changes needed time to kick in and how it's set them up in the qualifying group. 🚨🏴 #UKRENG #WWCQ

Decent strike from Kalinina TBF, and I'm a fan of her 90s indie haircut, she looks like she might have been in Elastica for a week at some point. #UKRENG
Kravchuk breaks through England’s defence. Morgan recovers and the shot from distance is saved.
