France stun Netherlands to claim top spot; England cruise past Wales | OneFootball

The group stage of the UEFA Women's EUROs concluded on Sunday evening, with all four teams in group D mathematically capable of qualifying for the knockout rounds.

England, Wales, France, and the Netherlands were the teams in action in St. Gallen and Basel.

Here's how the final group matches unfolded...

England cruise past Wales

Scorers: Stanway 13' (P), Toone 21', Hemp 30', Russo 44', Mead 72', Beever-Jones 89'; Cain 76'

England stormed in front early doors in St. Gallen courtesy of a Georgia Stanway penalty, after the midfielder was clipped by Wales' Carrie Jones just inside the box.

Sarina Wiegman's side then doubled their advantage a few minutes later as Wales failed to clear their lines, and it fell kindly to Ella Toone, who found the back of the net from close range.

Within 30 minutes, England had their third through Lauren Hemp with a header at the back post, and substitute Beth Mead added a fifth with 20 minutes left to play.

Wales did have their moment, however, as Hannah Cain slotted home a ball from Jess Fishlock to score a consolation late on.

Off the bench for England, Aggie Beever-Jones registered her first goal contribution at a major tournament with the Lionesses' sixth in the final few minutes.

Up next, England will take on Sweden in the quarter-finals next week.

France produce comeback win over Netherlands

Scorers: Pelova 25', Bacha 41' (OG); Toletti 22', Katoto 61', Cascarino 64', 67', Karchaoui 90+2 (P)

France qualified top of group D with a 5-2 win over the Netherlands, despite trailing the Dutch at half time.

They initially put themselves in the driving seat with an opening goal courtesy of Sandie Toletti, but the Netherlands refused to go down without a fight, and Victoria Pelova put them back on level terms a few minutes later with a strike into the top corner.

The Dutch were then handed a huge gift on the brink of half time as France's Selma Bacha turned the ball into her own net to make it 2-1.

Yet, it was France who started the second half with greater impetus as Marie-Antoinette Katoto fired her side level just after the hour mark, before Delphine Cascarino made it 3-2 minutes later.

If a goal of the season contender wasn't enough for Cascarino, she then scored France's fourth of the night to put them firmly in control of group D.

Sakina Karchaoui then rubbed salt in the Dutch wounds with a fifth and final goal for France from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time.

They will now test themselves against Germany in the quarter-finals next weekend.
