Too bad I could only work with them for one year, but I understand their decisions. It looked so easy but it was pretty hard." I think again it was a hard game but coming out of Euros and not having that much rest.

The England ace added: “It’s always difficult coming off the back of tournaments and getting straight back into it, but as a footballer that is your job. “We’re hoping the women’s game can keep moving in that direction and everybody can push for bigger stadiums.” “In any stadium we play in we want to perform and it would be nice to have bigger crowds. “But it also shows that the women's game is developing so much that we need to think bigger, and that we can play in bigger stadiums. “The Austria team has developed so much and has done such a good job.” It is thought to be the first time in Austria’s history that a women’s national team game has sold out.

Stanway slid in Parris on the right wing and she took one touch before smashing the ball into the top right corner. In the 79th minute Lauren James was given her debut, making her and Reece the first siblings of different genders to play senior international football for England. ‘Of course you remember the losses but you never get bored with winning,’ Wiegman said. But they were almost gifted an equaliser straight after the restart when Mary Earps miscontrolled a Leah Williamson back-pass and was tackled by Hickelsberger-Fuller. Austria had defended their stadium choice, arguing the location had to be submitted to UEFA 60 days before the fixture, which was July 5 - a day before the opening game of the Euros. England play their final group game against Luxembourg in front of a sell-out crowd at Stoke City’s Bet365 Stadium on Tuesday. Russo already has nine goals in 14 caps and there is every chance she could replace White as the record goalscorer in years to come. Wiegman was given a cake by Austria to congratulate her on winning the Euros and there were several locals wearing England shirts while some even applauded Russo’s goal. The striker had been England’s super sub during the summer and the question was could she play the leading part? The retirement of Ellen White, the Lionesses’ all-time leading goalscorer, meant Russo was handed the No 9 shirt. England had basked in the glory of their Euro 2022 triumph for just 34 days. There were just 2,600 inside the 2,700-seater stadium, which had sold out before kick-off.

CB: Leah Williamson - 7/10 - Effectively broke through the Austria press on a number of occasions and brought the ball out from the back confidently. LM: Barbara Dunst - 5/10 - Frequently forced back to deal with the marauding Bronze. CM: Georgia Stanway - 8/10 - Won a number of crunching tackles on the halfway line and drove forward confidently. ST: Alessia Russo - 7/10 - Volleyed home England's opener inside seven minutes with an instinctive, controlled finish. Made plenty of probing runs and led the line well before being replaced on the hour. Switched between the right and left flank. Won the header for England's opener and looked very dangerous in the opening exchanges. Faded slightly as Austria grew into the game in the first half. Almost equalised after dispossessing Earps in the England box. The Lionesses were almost punished for their casualness when building from the back early in the second half, as Mary Earps was dispossessed by Hickelsberger in her own box after being slightly undersold a pass by Leah Williamson. Julia Hickelsberger saw Austria's best chance of the first period, firing narrowly over after winning the ball back high up in England's half of the pitch. Having been given a stern test by a resilient Austria side when the pair met two months earlier in the opening group match of Euro 2022, England took the lead with surprising ease inside seven minutes.
