Sweden 1-0 Belgium (Jul 22) Sweden 2-1 Switzerland (Jul 13) England 2-1 Spain (AET) (Jul 20)

England are into the final of the European Championship after a 4-0 victory over Sweden with goals from Mead, Bronze, Russo and Kirby.

If anyone deserved to get in on the act, it was Kirby. After everything she has been through, nobody would have blamed her if her speculative effort from distance had gone nowhere, but after an awkward bounce it ended in the net. Fortunately, the sky had turned black, and the night was all but over from a Swedish perspective. This was an occasion that called for the attack behind Ellen White to use their imagination and Kirby, in particular, has it in abundance. At 2-0, England were sat deep, holding on for dear life when two saves in as many minutes – the second at full stretch – thwarted the danger. Just as Spain showed in the last eight, squeeze hard enough and it is possible to cut off England’s blood supply. Sweden targeted the space between Lucy Bronze and Millie Bright, Jakobsson had time to get her shot away, and were it not for the legs of Mary Earps Sweden would have broken some hearts.

Wiegman has harnessed the talent in her squad to become serial winners - as she has done throughout her career. England could have scored a third before the hour too as Russo made an immediate impact off the bench - as now seems to be the norm. It gave England the shot in the arm they needed and almost scored a second before half-time. Going behind in a game, while it has not happened often under the Dutch coach, is no longer the confidence-beater it used to be. Lindahl did manage to get a hand to the ball, but not enough as it looped over her head and rolled into the back of the net. On the road, the Sky Sports News Mobile Presentation bus will continue to bring you all the best guests and analysis from the likes of Karen Carney, Sue Smith, Courtney Sweetman-Kirk and Laura Bassett offering their expert insight. With just 20 seconds played at Bramall Lane, Mary Earps was called into action as Sweden gave their opponents a taste of what was to come for the majority of the first half. Bronze added a goal to her evening's work early in the second half as Sweden failed to deal with a corner. On paper, Sweden were their toughest test so far, ranked second in the world and also due some silverware themselves. But Beth Mead (34) finally broke the deadlock, collecting a pass from Lucy Bronze before finishing on the turn for her sixth goal of Euro 2022. The right-back nodded home with a free header, but the celebrations were abruptly halted for a VAR check for offside. They will now face either Germany or France in Sunday's final at Wembley.

Ellen White is emotional for a reason, the support, interest and growth of the game is amazing. England eventually clear their lines but Sweden have started dangerously. It looks like it will come to nothing but from an angle which defies belief she is able to produce a backheel which nutmegs the 'keeper. Growing up the boys didn’t want to play with a girl, the coach of the boys team would never play me. It's her sixth goal of the tournament and gives England a great platform in this semi-final. The ball is flashed across the face of goal and just evades the boot of Ellen White - Lucy Bronze picks up the pieces and crosses for Beth Mead to turn and find the back of the net. Fran Kirby gets the goal she deserves as she tries to chip the 'keeper, she gets a hand to it but is unable to lift it over the bar and the ball lands in the back of the net. Mary Earps produces a moment of magic to keep out a certain goal - superb reflexes from the England 'keeper to maintain a two goal lead. Fran Kirby manages to produce some creativity when England do get the ball and forces a corner from which Lucy Bronze manages to squeeze a header home. Special praise for a brilliant creative performance from Fran Kirby and a marvellous cameo from Alessia Russo which saw her score a goal of the tournament contender. It was a memorable night for English football, with a brilliant performance from Fran Kirby and a moment of genius from Alessia Russo the highlights. England beat Sweden 4-0 at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night with a stunning performance to reach the final of Euro 2022.
