Peter Lansley's match report from Bramall Lane

I’m going to close this blog now. I’ll leave you with the report from Sheffield. Thanks for reading. Bye!

The Netherlands may have beaten Sweden on their way to winning the last Women’s Euros and reaching the 2019 Women’s World Cup but the sense they will be relieved to survive this high-octane clash with the 2021 Olympic finalists only serves to underline how difficult it is to call the likely winners of this tournament.

It shows you what I know. Uefa has given the award to Vivianne Miedema, who was also very, very good.

The Uefa technical team said: “She showed excellent centre-forward play throughout and was the focal point of the Netherlands’ attacks. She linked up well with the wide forwards and her teammates in midfield, and delivered very good passes and plenty of classy touches.”

Congrats, Vivianne!
