England's Lionesses are roaring all the way to Wembley and Lucy Bronze had a big hand in them reaching the Euros final, after scoring the second goal in a superb 4-0 over Sweden on Tuesday night.
While England had home advantage for the crunch semi-final, with the match taking place at Sheffield's Bramall Lane, going into the game Sweden were ranked second in the world. BBC pundits Ian Wright and Alex Scott both admitted it would be a very tough match but, after England had a rather nervy start to the 90 minutes, early jitters were settled when tournament top scorer Beth Mead scored again in the 34th minute.
Prior to kick off, England had only beaten Sweden three times before but former Alnwick schoolgirl and current Barcelona right-back Lucy stretched the Lionesses' lead as she headed in from a corner just after the break. And then England and their fans were sent into dream land when sub Alessia Russo scored a sublime back heeled goal 20 minutes later. The excellent Fran Kirby sealed the 4-0 win in the 76th minute, with the near 29,000 crowd inside Sheffield United's ground giving the side a hearty reaction when the final whistle blew, signalling England's first time in a major final for 13 years.
