Here’s Louise Taylor’s report from the Stadium of Light.

Sarina Wiegman speaks to ITV.

Very happy with three points, with the performance at moments I was happy other moments I wasn’t that happy because we were struggling a bit. The first half we dominated, we had moments where they could counterattack but we reduced that a bit. Second half we had problems keeping the ball and we made some decisions that made it not easy for ourselves. They tried to score a goal and we didn’t get in the moment where we kept the ball really well and could go to their half. We kept just trying to solve problems all the time.

We want competitive games. You don’t know what the score will be before a game. In World Cup qualification the difference was sometimes so big it wasn’t competitive. Sometimes it’s nice to win and have an easy win but that’s not sport, you shouldn’t know in sport what the result will be.
