How England performed
England hosted the 2022 UEFA Women's Championship and the Lionesses won it, taking six wins from six matches under Sarina Wiegman, with Leah Williamson as captain. They opened with a 1–0 win over Austria, Mead scoring, then beat Norway 8–0, Mead completing a hat-trick, and Northern Ireland 5–0, with Russo scoring twice.
The quarter-final against Spain went to extra time: Spain led until Toone equalised in the 84th minute, and Stanway's goal in the 96th won it 2–1. Sweden were beaten 4–0 in the semi-final, with Mead, Bronze, Russo and Kirby all scoring. In the final against Germany, Toone opened the scoring, Germany equalised in the 79th minute, and Kelly's goal in the 111th minute won the title 2–1 after extra time. England scored 22 goals and conceded two across the tournament, with Mead finishing on six goals and Russo on four, improving on the semi-final finish of 2017.
