Minute-by-minute report: England move to within one point of next year’s finals in Switzerland with an uneven but ultimately deserved victory over Ireland. Scott Murray was watching
England move to within one point of next year’s finals in Switzerland with an uneven but ultimately deserved victory over Ireland“Happy with the result … we started really well … we scored an incredible goal … the best goals are the goals with many players … we created a lot of chances but should have played more in the pockets … we were sloppy at moments too … we could have put it to bed … of course I was very frustrated about their goal … Ireland tried to push a little higher but they didn’t...
That’s the last act of the evening! England get their win; Ireland break their long goal drought. Both they, and the half-time sub Russell, deserved that consolation. Le Tissier wedges a lovely pass down the right and nearly releases Kelly. Patten comes across to intercept and clear just in time. Fine play all round.Russell has looked lively since coming on at the break. She dips a shoulder in the hope of making space to shoot on the edge of the D, but can’t quite sort her feet out. Then she chases a long pass down the left, preparing to romp into acres of space behind the English defence. But the flag pops up for offside.
