After five decades in which a trophy eluded them, the Lionesses now can’t stop winning them. They lifted their third in 12 months, successfully defending their Arnold Clark Cup crown as they thrashed Belgium 6-1 in Bristol.
The 26,169 inside Ashton Gate were lively throughout — just as Milton Keynes and Coventry were when welcoming Sarina Wiegman’s side last week. The decibels edged ever upwards when two-goal Leah Williamson held the trophy aloft just as she’d done last February.
