England 1-0 Denmark player ratings: How the Lionesses rated in World Cup win vs Denmark - one 8 and three 5’s

One player stood out above the rest for England as they beat Denmark 1-0 at the FIFA World Cup. Here’s how we rated each Lioness performance.

England made it two wins from two in the Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 win over Denmark in Sydney.

Lauren James’ wonder strike got the Lionesses off to the perfect start after just six minutes and secured the win for the European Champions but the win came at a cost after a serious looking injury to Barcelona midfielder Keira Walsh saw her forced off the pitch just before half time.

It was a marginally improved display from England, however, the serious injury to Walsh saw the second half played at a much slower pace with England players noticeably affected. The win does guarantee a passage to the knock out stages of the tournament though ahead of the Lionesses final group game against China next week.

We have given every England player a ranking out of 10 based on their performances against the Danes.
