BREAKING: England have sealed victory over Denmark in the Women's World Cup thanks to Lauren James' stunning goal in the first half. The 1-0 win means that the Lionesses have all but booked their place in the knockout stages.
The 1-0 win means that the Lionesses have all but booked their place in the knockout stages and it will be officially confirmed if China fail to beat Haiti in the other Group D game later on Friday.
Sarina Wiegman made two changes from the side that underwhelmed against Haiti, with Jess Carter and Lauren Hemp dropping out for Rachel Daly and James. These were changes that many fans and pundits had wanted to see and they instantly paid off with Daly setting up James for the winning goal – a stunning strike from outside the box – after just six minutes., continuously caused problems for the Danish defenders, testing goalkeeper Lene Christensen twice more in the opening 20 minutes.
The Lionesses were in complete control during this period, but just as in their opening game they were shaky at the back and susceptible on the counter. Denmark used this to their advantage, managing to create three very good opportunities in quick succession only for Rikke Madsen and Janni Thomsen to miss the target, while Pernille Harder’s shot was well-saved by Mary Earps.
