Only three goals had been scored in England’s six matches this year but against a physical Austria side whose main aim looked to be damage limitation, Mark Sampson’s team regained their shooting touch. They went into the game with three changes to the starting lineup from the 1-1 draw with Italy on Friday night and it was two of the new players who combined to open the scoring after five minutes. Christiansen crossed from the left and White, who had missed the Friday game because of a slight injury, sent a glancing header just inside the far post.

The game was now following a similar pattern to the match on Friday but a second goal finally arrived in the 67th minute: Christiansen’s 15-yard lob bounced back off the bar but Bronze dashed in to force the ball over the line. After White had forced a fine diving save from Zinsberger, Christiansen wrapped up victory four minutes from time. The captain, Steph Houghton, headed
