England and Spain will meet in the 2023 Women’s World Cup final.
Goals from Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo fired England into their first World Cup final since 1966 with Sam Kerr’s reply not enough for Australia, who bow out of their home tournament.
Toone gave England the lead in the first half with a rocket from inside the box before Kerr levelled for Australia with a brilliant strike from range.
Hemp restored the Lionesses’ advantage before Arsenal forward Russo wrapped up the victory and a place in the final.
They will now face Spain after Olga Carmona’s 90th minute winner saw them emerge victorious in a rollercoaster semi-final win over Sweden on Tuesday.
Salma Paralluelo had given Spain the lead with just 10 minutes remaining before Rebecka Blomqvist’s last-gasp equaliser was outdone just 93 seconds later by captain Carmona’s winning strike.
