England's Lionesses delivered a clinical performance against Greece, with Lauren James scoring two goals and providing an assist in a dominant first half. Alessia Russo also netted a brace, while Georgia Stanway added another goal, as England moved closer to securing their place at the World Cup.
The victory sets up a two-legged playoff against Ukraine, scheduled for November and December. The winners of this tie will advance to the World Cup in Brazil next summer.
The Lionesses' strong showing, particularly in the first 45 minutes, saw them quickly extinguish any hopes Greece had of a comeback after their 3-1 first-leg defeat. Sarina Wiegman's team displayed improved zip and confidence compared to their previous performance.
