- France 1-2 England
- Diani 72pen; Stanway 21 Russo 34
England stunned the group leaders France in Saint-Étienne with a 2-1 victory that kept their Euro 2025 qualification hopes very much alive.
Sarina Wiegman’s side produced a composed performance for the most part and sealed three points thanks to first‑half goals from Georgia Stanway and Alessia Russo. A penalty from Kadidiatou Diani brought the hosts back into the match but the Lionesses drew on all their experience and resilience as European champions to hang on for an important victory.
