England thrash South Korea as Sarina Wiegman's unbeaten run continues - 5 talking points

England made the perfect start to their Arnold Clark Cup campaign after easing past South Korea 4-0 to remain unbeaten under manager Sarina Wiegman.

A Georgia Stanway penalty, plus goals after the break from Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo and Lauren James did the damage for the European champions. The Lionesses missed early chances through Chelsea's James and Ella Toone, as Korea initially provided stubborn resistance.

But the European Champions broke the deadlock not long before the break, James' driving run into the box drawing the challenge to win England a penalty, only seconds after Russo had smashed the post. Stanway converted clinically, just as she had done against the USA in October. England were at their fluent best after the break, with a quickfire double from Chloe Kelly and Alessia Russo taking them out of sight, before James got her name on the scoresheet to cap a superb display.
