In stunning manner, England defeated four-time Olympic champion Sweden to go to their first major competition final since 2009.
The Lionesses, who under manager Sarina Wiegman extended their unbeaten streak to 19 games, will play either Germany or France for the championship on July 31 at Wembley.
Sweden applied a lot of pressure in the first 25 minutes, but England dismantled them with ruthless finishing and a touch of class. It was an exciting game from beginning to end.
Only 11 minutes after coming on as a substitute, Alessia Russo once again created a magical moment as her brilliant backheel made it 3-0 to England.
Defending player Lucy Bronze headed in a second goal after Golden Boot leader Beth Mead had given England the lead against the odds in the first half.
Fran Kirby of Chelsea added the final flourish to the rout when she chipped Hedvig Lindahl’s helpless goalkeeper.
The Lionesses’ victory ended a 13-year absence from a major event final, and they are the favorites to win the trophy at Wembley on Sunday.
