Alessia Russo warns Lionesses there's 'still work to be done' as Arsenal star congratulates 'sister' Ella Toone on reaching England milestone

Russo and Toone teamed up to help England beat France in Saint-Etienne, with the former scoring the winning goal. It was three huge points for the Lionesses as they closed the gap to their Channel rivals to just two points in Group A3 and kept their Euro 2025 qualification hopes alive.

The 25-year-old took to Instagram to reflect on the win, saying: "A huge +3 in France! Still work to be done. Also shoutout to my sister for 50 caps, proud of you always [Ella Toone]."

Toone became the 51st Lioness to earn her 50th cap on a positive night for Sarina Wiegman's side. After suffering defeat four days before against the same opposition, England needed a huge win to remain within touching distance of the group leaders. The European champions look to have finally found their form with both Russo and Toone playing a key role in the 2-1 win.

With the two international matches for June out of the way, England now have a month to prepare for games against the Republic of Ireland and Sweden. Two wins could see them close the gap even more to France. The games also allow Toone and Russo to keep fit ahead of what is set to be another exciting WSL campaign.
