How did the players fare in England's 4-0 win over Sweden in the semi-finals of Women's Euro 2022.


ENGLAND (4-2-3-1):

8 Earps: Made a crucial save at the start of the second half as she tipped Blackstenius’ goal-bound effort over the crossbar

8 Bronze: Made her usual marauding runs down the right and scored England’s crucial second goal with a clinical header

7 Bright: Was up against one of the most dangerous attacks in the world but was always on top of the Swedish forwards

8 Williamson: Produced her best display of the tournament as she was rock solid in defence and effective in possession

8 Daly: Justified her continued presence in the side with a much-improved display from her performance against Spain

7 Walsh: Helped England gain control after a strong Swedish start and kept the ball moving effectively

7 Stanway: Set the tone for England’s dominance by producing a series of thunderous challenges that stopped the Swede in their tracks

8 Mead: Delivered another memorable moment as she swivelled in the box before firing home England’s opener

9 KIRBY: Ran the game from England’s attacking-midfield spot and claimed a deserved goal with a long-range chip

7 Hemp: Another hugely effective display from the winger – even if she missed a sitter when she hit the bar in the second half

6 White: Helped England establish a position of dominance in the first half before making way in the early stages of the second
