England into first World Cup final since 1966 with epic 3-1 win over Aussies

ENGLAND reached their first World Cup final since 1966 with a stunning 3-1 win over hosts Australia.

Goals from Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo sealed the Lionesses first ever Women’s World Cup final appearance as they celebrated a huge victory in Sydney.

Toone fired Sarina Wiegman’s side in front in the first half, running onto Russo’s cutback and rifling a venomous effort across goal and high into the net.

Kerr then levelled shortly after the hour mark when she collected the ball inside her own half, drove at the England defence and unleashed an unstoppable 25-yard screamer into the top corner.

But the Euros champions responded in superb fashion as Hemp curled home to regain the Lionesses lead.
