Beth Mead is proud of overtaking Jimmy Greaves’s goalscoring record for England in a single season and believes the postponement of the Women’s European Championship from last summer has helped her claim a place in the tournament that kicks off on Wednesday.
The Arsenal forward took her international goals tally for 2021-22 to 14 with a brace in the recent 5-1 thrashing of 2017 Euro champions, the Netherlands, surpassing the 13 Greaves scored in 1960-61.
