England through to Euro 2022 final after Lionesses crush Sweden 4-0

England produced an electrifying performance to see off Sweden and seal a place in the Euro 2022 final.

The Lionesses weathered an early first-half storm at Bramall Lane in Sheffield before exploding into life after the break to book a first major tournament final place since 2009.

Goals from Beth MeadLucy BronzeAlessia Russo and Fran Kirby sent the capacity crowd into raptures and secured their spot at Wembley at the expense of the shellshocked Swedes.

It ends a longer-than-decade run of defeats in the final four of major tournaments including the 2013 Euros and both the 2015 and 2019 World Cups.

Sarina Wiegman’s side, who have now won all five of their matches at the tournament conceding just a single goal in the process and scoring 20, will now play either France or Germany in Sunday’s showpiece.

Follow all of the reaction from a magical night at Bramall Lane:
