Beth Mead score four times and Ella Toone bagged a hat-trick as England thrased North Macedonia 10-0 at the Tose Proeski Arena on Friday night.
England, who had won the reverse fixture 8-0 in September in Sarina Wiegman’s first match in charge, pumped in five goals in the opening half with Mead scoring two and Ellen White nodding in her 50th goal for the national team.
Toone and Georgia Stanway also got on the scoresheet and the visitors picked up from where they left off after the restart as Mead completed her third hat-trick of the campaign and added another to her tally to make it 7-0 inside the hour mark.
Stanway added England’s eighth after turning her marker in the penalty area and firing a low shot before Toone struck twice in four minutes to complete the rout with 12 minutes left in the one-sided contest in North Macedonia’s capital.
The Lionesses top Group D with a perfect record of 21 points from seven matches. They have scored a staggering 63 goals and conceded none ahead of their meeting with Northern Ireland at Belfast next Tuesday.
