England are into the semi-finals of the Women's World Cup for the second tournament in succession after a comfortable 3-0 success against Norway on Thursday evening.
Producing their best display of the competition to date, England took an early lead through Jill Scott and never looked back against a tough Norwegian side, Ellen White adding a second before Lucy Bronze capped the performance with a superb goal.
Hosts France or holders USA await in the final four but the Lionesses will be delighted both to have matched their run to the semi-finals of Canada 2015 and to have stepped up a gear from their earlier performances at just the right time.
France and USA meet on Friday evening with the semi-final scheduled for Tuesday in Lyon, head coach Phil Neville predicting an 'incredible' atmosphere in what is already a sold-out fixture.
