England have far trickier tests ahead of them when they kick off their European Championship title defence in Zurich against France in six days’ time, but they put on a thrilling show for the fans who came to wave them off in Leicester, with a 7-0 win against Jamaica.
This was Sarina Wiegman’s final opportunity to see her team in front of fans and with tournament conditions in place before they head to Switzerland to defend their 2022 crown, and although it was a dress rehearsal the signs were good. Ella Toone stepped up, scoring twice, Lauren James returned to action and provided an assist within eight minutes, there was a cohesiveness to England’s play and the substitutes made an impact.
