'Resilience, Phenomenal, Unreal' England are in their first World Cup final since 1966

England are in a first World Cup final since 1966: Katie Robinson, Rachel Daly and teammates of England huddle with Sarina Wiegman, Manager of England, following the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Semi Final match between Australia and England at Stadium Australia on August 16, 2023 in Sydney, Australia.

England women are into the Women's World Cup final, after beating hosts Australia 3-1 at Stadium Australia in Sydney, in arguably their best performance of the tournament so far.

Ella Toone, back in the side in the absence of the suspended Lauren James, put the Lionesses ahead with a stunning first-half strike, before a stunning Sam Kerr strike levelled proceedings. With pressure building on England, however, Lauren Hemp capitalised on a defensive error to put the Lionesses ahead before Alessia Russo struck a winner minutes from time.
