England are odds on to win the Women’s World Cup for the first time having beaten co-hosts Australia 3-1 in the semi-final in Sydney.
In spoiling the home party for the Matildas, Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses became the first English side since 1966 to reach a final on the world stage. They will take on Spain in Sunday’s final.
The crucial moment came in the 71st minute when Lauren Hemp pounced on a defensive error to restore England's lead just eight minutes after Sam Kerr – starting her first match of the tournament - had made it 1-1 with a stunning strike from 25 yards.
Alessia Russo made sure of victory with England's third just a few minutes from time.
