VIDEO: Georgia Stanway, what a hit! Lionesses star scores stunning opener in crucial Euro 2025 qualifier against France

England came into the game in need of a win after a disappointing start to their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign, including a defeat to France last time out. Stanway gave the visitors the perfect start by firing the Three Lions into the lead midway through the first half with a fierce strike from outside the penalty area that flew past a helpless Pauline Peyraud-Magnin in the France goal.

England went on to double their lead through Alessia Russo just before half-time. The Arsenal star headed home from close range after a ball in from Lauren Hemp. The goals make it a dream start to the game for Sarina Wiegman's side who know a victory will cut the gap on group leaders France and breathe fresh life into the team's qualification hopes.

England are back in action in July when they continue their qualifying campaign with games against Republic of Ireland and Sweden.
