Before thrashing Latvia 10-0, England beat Northern Ireland 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Beth Mead and another goal from Bethany England.

Millie Bright, Ellen White and Alex Greenwood all scored twice, while Nikita Parris, Rachel Daly and Bethany England all added another each. An own goal from Luxembourg’s Berscheid also contributed to the final tally.
