England Bounces Back with Dominant Display

England enhanced their prospects of qualifying for Euro 2025 with a dominant performance, securing a victory over France in Saint-Etienne. Following a 2-1 defeat against the same opponents at St James’ Park just four days earlier, the defending European champions showcased their capabilities with a stellar first-half display. Georgia Stanway’s powerful strike gave England an early lead, followed by Alessia Russo’s header from Lauren Hemp’s precise cross before halftime.

Although France missed a chance to score when Kadidiatou Diani headed wide just before halftime, they later capitalized on a penalty after England’s Leah Williamson fouled Grace Geyoro. Despite a resilient effort from France in the second half, goalkeeper Hannah Hampton’s exceptional save denied Marie-Antoinette Katoto, ensuring England secured a crucial victory. The win sees them trailing Group A3 leaders France by just two points, albeit still in third place on goal difference.
