Lionesses close in on qualification after victory in Norwich
The reigning European champions will qualify for the 2025 tournament with victory over Sweden on Tuesday
England's Lionesses are a game away from European championship qualification after beating the Republic of Ireland 2-1 at Carrow Road.
Over 20,000 were in attendance at the home of Norwich City, with goals from Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway thrilling the crowd.
Julie Russell pulled one back in injury time for the visitors.
Sarina Wiegman's side sit second in their qualification group, behind France but three points ahead of Sweden, who they play on Tuesday.
The biggest cheers of the night was for North Walsham's Lauren Hemp, who started in the attacking line for England.
The Norfolk-born forward spent 7 years at the Norwich City academy, with fans travelling from across the county to watch her in action.
One fan at the game told us, "There's young girls and boys in the audience, to see someone from North Norfolk representing their country is just amazing."
