England have qualified for next year's Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand after a 2-0 win against Austria in Wiener Neustadt on Saturday evening.
Sarina Wiegman's side were widely expected to win after going 20 games unbeaten under the Dutch coach, yet this was never going to be a gimme. Austria lost by just a goal to England in each of their previous two meetings and the reigning European champions would've been forgiven for feeling the nerves.
Wiegman made three changes to the team that defeated Germany 2-1 in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley only 34 days ago. Two of those were enforced following the retirement of record scorer Ellen White and Chelsea playmaker Fran Kirby's foot injury.
