England made the perfect start to their Arnold Clark Cup campaign as they beat Korea Republic by four goals to nil.
It was a dominant first-half display from the Lionesses, with both Ella Toone and Alessia Russo going close. But it was Georgia Stanway who broke the deadlock; the Bayern Munich midfielder converting from the spot after Lauren James was brought down inside the box.
Chloe Kelly doubled England's advantage just 30 seconds into the second half before Alessia Russo added a third after some nice play from Alex Greenwood down the left-hand side. But it was James, who capped off a superb display from Wiegman's side with a lovely strike into the bottom corner, who stole the show at Stadium MK.

Here's how the players got on against Korea Republic....
Mary Earps - 6
A spectator for much of the game.
Lucy Bronze - 7
Became a greater attacking outlet as the game went on. Didn't really put a foot wrong in defence.
Millie Bright - 7
Didn't have much to do for the most part but showed her strength in a battle with Son in the second half.
Jess Carter - 7
As with Bright, had little to do but acquitted herself well when called upon. Subbed.
Alex Greenwood - 7
Looked to get forward down the left and put in some excellent corner deliveries. Set up Russo for England's third. Subbed.
Leah Williamson - 7
Stepped into midfield in Keira Walsh's absence and took up some interesting positions. Showed her versatility later in the game as she moved back into the defence.
Georgia Stanway - 8
Almost set up Toone in the first half and opened the scoring from the penalty spot. Almost all of England's attacking intent came through her. Subbed.
Ella Toone - 8
Tested Kim with a powerful strike early on. Became an even greater threat after the break and almost set up Daly with a lovely through ball.
Alessia Russo - 7
Unlucky to hit the post with a super effort in the first half. Got her goal with a tidy finish after the break. Subbed.
Lauren James - 9
Put an early effort wide of the post and a constant threat for the Lionesses. Won a penalty that was coolly converted by Stanway. The best player on the pitch in large spells and rewarded with her first England goal.
Chloe Kelly - 8
Didn't really happen for her in the first half but much better after the break. Got her goal and was a real handful for the Korean defence. Subbed.
Substitutes:
Katie Zelem - 7
Mopped up nicely in the middle of the park.
Lauren Hemp - 7
Almost got in on the action with a header in the second half. Looked to drive forwards.
Rachel Daly - 6
Went close with an effort after a nice through ball from Toone.
Niamh Charles - 6
A nice eye for a pass after her introduction.
Laura Coombs - 6
The Man City midfielder did a tidy job in her first England appearance in more than seven years.
Katie Robinson - 6
Hit the post with a late effort.
