England (4-3-3)

Mary Earps Alert to stop Sofia Jakobsson early on. Stunning save to deny Stina Blackstenius. 7

Lucy Bronze Struggled with Fridolina Rolfö’s pressure. The scorer of England’s second. 6

Millie Bright Another big performance from England’s rock at the back. Aerially strong. Provided cover for Bronze. 7

Leah Williamson Displayed trademark calm demeanour. Worked with Bright to take the sting out of Sweden’s attack. 7

Rachel Daly Recovered from Spanish troubles to provide a steady presence down the left. 7

Georgia Stanway Energetic presence in midfield and not afraid to put a tackle in. Opportunities arose upfront. 7

Keira Walsh Afforded the space to spray her passes around. The instigator of many an England attack. 7

Beth Mead Scintillating. A thorn in Hanna Glas’s side. Composure in front of goal set England away. 8

Fran Kirby England’s magician at No 10. Vision and running wore Sweden down throughout. 8

Lauren Hemp England’s speedster found space down the left all evening. Somehow missed an open goal. 7

Ellen White Energy exemplary as she ran for every ball. Chances to add to her goal tally. 7

Substitutes: Alessia Russo (for White 57) 7; Ella Toone (for Kirby 79) 6; Chloe Kelly (for Mead 86) 6; Jill Scott (for Stanway 86) 6; Alex Greenwood (for Daly 86) 6.

Sweden (4-3-3)

Hedvig Lindahl Not at fault for England’s first three. Should have got a stronger glove to Kirby’s chip. 6

Amanda Ilestedt Troubled by the pace of Hemp throughout. Left space for the winger to exploit. 5

Linda Sembrant Made her second start of the campaign. Struggled to contain England’s deliveries into the box. 6

Magdalena Eriksson Got into a little tussle with White which seemed to rattle her. Never quite recovered. 6

Hanna Glas Switched to left-back in the absence of Andersson. Could not contain Mead. 5

Filippa Angeldahl One of Sweden’s most productive players was kept quiet. Barely got on the ball. 6

Kosovare Asllani Sweden’s captain was their creative heartbeat. Marked out of the game in the second. 7

Nathalie Björn Fortunate to end the game on the field. Avoided an early booking for a cynical foul. 5

Fridolina Rolfö Proved a problem down Sweden’s left in the first. Nullified after the break. 7

Stina Blackstenius Threatened on the break. Had the pace on Bronze. Denied by a brilliant Earps save. 6

Sofia Jakobsson Her first Euro 2022 appearance and made an impact. Kept out by Earps early on. 7

Substitutes: Caroline Seger (for Angeldahl 51) 6; Rytting Kaneryd (for Jakobsson 51) 6; Jonna Andersson (for Ilestedt 55) 6; Lina Hurtig (for Blackstenius 76) 6; Hanna Bennison (for Sembrant 76) 6.
