England's great escape must be a lesson for Sarina Wiegman! Winners and losers as Lionesses sucker-punch Sweden - and it's high time Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang were given bigger Euro 2025 roles

Thursday was not Hampton's best night in an England shirt. She looked unconvincing when coming for crosses, flapped at several deliveries and had some poor moments in possession too, almost gifting Stina Blackstenius a goal that would've had the Lionesses 2-0 down after only five minutes.

However, Thursday was probably Hampton's biggest night in an England shirt. Despite some of her errors, she made saves that prevented Sweden from securing victory in the 90 minutes or extra-time and then, when the pressure was really on, she came up with two big stops in the shootout. This was a big moment and the 24-year-old stepped right up to it.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Carter is not in England's XI when they line-up against Italy on Tuesday. In fact, it would be a surprise if she is. On Thursday, she was targeted repeatedly by Sweden's attack, with her lack of pace exposed, while her composure on the ball also went missing.

Carter should not be made a scapegoat here. Wiegman has buried her head in the sand about England's issues at left-back for several years now and that is why that side of the defence is so vulnerable. She hasn't found a suitable player for the position, instead settling on temporary and exposable solutions. Right now, that is to deploy Alex Greenwood there - but she didn't play the position well enough on Thursday and didn't work cohesively with Carter, which contributed to the latter being easily exposed. Leah Williamson, too, didn't cover her centre-back partner as she should have, while the midfield didn't make itself available often enough to prevent some of the mistakes when playing out from the back.

But the overall outcome is that Wiegman is likely to have to make more changes in defence ahead of the clash with Italy, and that will likely see Carter displaced in the starting XI.

If Wiegman considers making other changes to her line-up for Tuesday, she's got plenty of options to bring into it - and Kelly is one of them. It's been tough for the Arsenal star to crack the England XI of late, despite regularly getting the nod ahead of Beth Mead at club level. However, she certainly showed why she deserves to be in from the get-go on Thursday, with her remarkable crossing ability at the heart of the Lionesses' comeback.

Within seconds of entering the pitch, the 27-year-old curled in a superb ball that Bronze met just as brilliantly at the back post to narrow the deficit to 2-1. Then, two minutes later, in came another cross that Sweden couldn't deal with, Mead winning the first header before Michelle Agyemang pounced on the ball and finished.

Throw in the fact that she was one of just three Lionesses to convert their spot-kicks in the shootout and this was a terrific night for Kelly, in which she was arguably her team's very best player. Is that enough to get her some more minutes? She'll hope so.

Williamson has had a great year. She's progressed back towards her best level after suffering an ACL injury two years ago, she achieved a dream in helping Arsenal win the Champions League and she's now leading her country out at a major tournament again, having missed the chance to do so at the last World Cup. However, she has been shaky at times in this tournament and that was especially the case on Thursday.

The 28-year-old repeatedly failed to cover Carter properly in this game, which exacerbated the issues England were having in defence, and there were times where she was far too easily beaten herself. It's near-impossible to see her being dropped by Wiegman despite that, given her leadership role in particular, but such a statement might not even need to be made. Williamson limped off in this quarter-final after enduring a nasty ankle roll towards the end of extra-time. She may not even be ready for Tuesday's huge game.

Despite being just 19 years old and having only three caps to her name, Agyemang has seemingly become Wiegman's 'break in case of emergency' sub, brought on to mix things up and give opponents a different type of problem in attack - and successfully so.

Against Belgium in April, when England trailed 3-1, she scored 41 seconds into her debut. Against France on matchday one of this tournament, when the score was 2-0 to Les Bleues and the Lionesses hadn't had a shot on target, Agyemang entered the fray and they were able to halve the deficit. Against Sweden on Thursday, the teenager was brought on with the score at 2-0, and it was she who scored the vital equaliser.

So, why not use her more? Why only use her when England are losing? This is a player who offers something unique and continues to make a tangible difference when she is on the pitch. The Lionesses must tap into that more - something she emphasised again here.

'In Sarina we trust' has become a motto for England fans, and with great escapes like Thursday's, it's understandable. The best manager in the international women's game today continues to pull rabbits out of hats and propel the Lionesses through these major tournaments. Thursday, though, might have shaken that faith a tad, even if the eventual result was a victory.

It was baffling that Wiegman didn't make subs earlier in this quarter-final. Carter was getting brutally exposed in defence and yet, the manager's only tweaks until the 70th minute were to switch her and Williamson around a couple of times. That she didn't make attacking changes sooner was also strange, given the Lionesses needed at least two goals - and fast.

While some will credit the manager for the turnaround - as it was the likes of Kelly, Agyemang and Mead who led it, having been brought on from the bench - the big question is why it took so long. These players impacted the game incredibly when they were allowed to. What if they'd had more than 20 minutes? Maybe extra-time and penalties wouldn't have been needed.

Wiegman was so close to this game being seen as a managerial disasterclass rather than a masterclass. She has to be more proactive if England are to retain their European title.
