England vs Norway LIVE! Women’s Euro 2022
England Women secured a safe passage to the quarter-finals of Euro 2022 in the most emphatic fashion by beating Norway 8-0 on Monday night.
The tournament hosts scored six times in a frantic first-half display, with Georgia Stanway’s 12th-minute penalty and a Lauren Hemp finish three minutes later followed by a brace each from Ellen White and Beth Mead.
It was equal to the most goals scored by a team in a Euros match, and England went on to set a new record for the most emphatic victory in a final, overtaking their 6-0 victory against Scotland in 2017, following a substitute effort. Alessia Russo and Mead complete her hat trick.

England head coach Sarina Wiegman has admitted she didn’t expect her side to be so dominant as they beat Norway 8-0 to set a new Premier League record Europe.
The Lionesses progressed to the quarter-finals in style and set a new winning record for a Men’s or Women’s Euro at the Amex Stadium in Brighton.
A controversial Georgia Stanway penalty, won by Ellen White, put England on the path to victory, but there was no doubting the hosts’ dominance afterwards, like a hat-trick from Beth Mead, White’s brace and other goals from Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo earned a famous win.
“It was a very special night, we didn’t expect to get such a big win,” Wiegman told the BBC.

Beth Mead: I don’t think I could have dreamed of a Norwegian hat-trick
England treble hero Beth Mead said Norway’s 8-0 demolition was beyond her wildest dreams as the Lionesses booked their place in the knockouts with a record win.
Sarina Wiegman’s side broke the previous record of winning a European Men’s or Women’s Championship by two goals as a Norwegian side – who have been referred to by some as the dark horses – were blown away by the hosts at Brighton’s Amex Stadium.
Ellen White scored twice, while Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo also found the net, but Arsenal’s Mead was the England star, after their winner in the opener against Austria with a beautiful triplet.
