Fran Kirby has spoken of her hopes of England’s performances and her own building through Euro 2022 after the hosts opened their campaign with Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Austria.
The tournament curtain-raiser at Old Trafford, which had a competition-record attendance of 68,871, saw the Lionesses claim three points thanks to a 16th-minute Beth Mead finish teed up by Kirby’s pass.
