England Women have convincingly beaten the Netherlands to keep their Euros hopes alive.
Sarina Wiegman’s team came into the tournament as defending champions, but slumped to a defeat against France in their opening match.
In their second game against the Netherlands, they took a commanding lead in the must-win tie, running out eventual winners.
Lauren James, freshly returned from injury, starred in the 4-0 victory, scoring twice before being subbed in the second half.
Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone also contributed to the goals.

The performance was much-needed, as a loss would have left their campaign on a knife-edge, relying on results elsewhere.
Going into the competition, the England camp was hit by a series of blows as three senior players pulled out for differing reasons.
England will play Wales in their third and final group game on Sunday, 13 July.

Speaking to the BBC after the game, James said: “I enjoyed it a lot, the goals say it all.
“We bounced back from the previous game and showed we were more than capable [of] showing the world what we can do.”
Fellow goal scorer Stanway said: “I’ve always said, and said the other day, this is about showing who we are. We fought from the very first minute to the very last.”
