England reignited their Women’s Euro 2025 title defence with a 4–0 rout of the Netherlands at Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich. Lauren James scored in each half, Georgia Stanway netted on the stroke of half-time and Ella Toone added a fourth midway through the second period, sealing a first tournament victory for the holders before 22,600 spectators. Manager Sarina Wiegman made a single change to the side beaten 2-1 by France, restoring Toone to midfield and shifting James to the right flank. The adjustment paid off immediately: goalkeeper Hannah Hampton’s long pass started the move for James’s opener, while Alessia Russo delivered two assists. “We’re absolutely not there yet, but this is an incredible response,” Wiegman said after the match. The result moves England level on three points with the Netherlands and leaves Group D finely poised ahead of France’s later meeting with Wales. A win against Wales on Sunday will guarantee the Lionesses a quarter-final berth; the Dutch must regroup for a decisive encounter with France.
