The Lionesses have secured another victory at the Women's World Cup in Australia after thrashing China 6-1.
This comes off the back of two 1-0 victories against Haiti and Denmark last month which saw England top the Group D leaderboard.
England opened the scoring in the 4th minute through Alessia Russo, with two more following in the first half from Lauren Hemp and Lauren James.
China denied the Lionesses a clean sheet thanks to a penalty converted by Shuang Wang, but this didn't dent England's confidence.
James added her second of the game not long after, while further efforts from Chloe Kelly and Rachel Daly ensured a comfortable victory.
Into the knockouts we go.
