Toone, Hemp and Russo score to help ENG reach first WC final

England will meet Spain in Sunday’s final after they battled back to win despite Sam Kerr’s wondergoal

England jumped on the board first with a goal from Ella Toone late in the first half, which held up until Sam Kerr broke through to knot the score in the 63rd minute of play

Unfortunately for the Matildas, as England scored the go-ahead goal just eight minutes later as Lauren Hemp drove a shot into the back of the net for the 2-1 lead.
