Lauren James led England to a resounding 6-1 victory over China on Tuesday, solidifying their position as Group D leaders in the Women’s World Cup.
James’ exceptional performance, including two goals, earned her the spotlight as England celebrated their largest-ever World Cup triumph.
The European champions’ emphatic win also sealed China’s earliest-ever exit from the tournament, a disappointing outcome for the Asian champions.
Despite their best efforts, China could not match England’s dominating form, leaving them unable to progress to the knockout rounds.
Denmark secured their place as the second-placed team in Group D by defeating Haiti 2-0, setting up an intriguing knockout-round encounter with co-hosts Australia.
