Lauren Hemp

Did brilliantly to adjust her feet to convert Mead’s inviting cross for the hosts’ second to open her Euros goalscoring account, before teeing up Mead herself for England’s fourth. 9

Ellen White

Cunningly turned her opposite number inside out the penalty area to win England’s opening penalty. She bagged a brace to end her mini goal drought which will give her a massive confidence boost. 9

Ella Toone

Played a key role in keeping the intensity high when she came on, scything through Norway’s jaded defence. 7

Looked fiery when she came on, but did she do enough to earn a starting spot? Probably not. She floated an inviting cross into the box late on which sailed over everyone’s heads.

Jill Scott

On her tenth major tournament appearance, Scott was there for a kickabout by the time she got on the pitch.
