00:00So England enter a World Cup cycle as the Continental Champions,
00:04which wasn't the case last time round for the 2022 Euros,
00:09originally set to be in 2021 until the pandemic.
00:13But a World Cup qualifier was the opening game of Serena Beegman's tenure.
00:18And fast forward on a road it's been for England under the Dutch woman.
00:25Stamway once more, wriggles away from the challenge.
00:28The Lions feeding it in, Russo, good on the turn!
00:31And the first save for Samson.
00:34I mean, this is something that Alessia Russo has added to her game this year.
00:38That first touch, Seb, you know, plays it into her own path outside of the foot.
00:42As England go on the attack again here, through Lauren Hemp.
00:48Stamway.
00:50Counting Ukraine's half early on here as he can try to make a fast start.
00:55That ball sent it towards Russo!
00:57And she can't quite get it on target in the end.
01:02Yeah, it's a fantastic ball in.
01:05Lesia Russo gets up so well.
01:07Lovely ball from Georgia Stamway in that moment.
01:09You'd want no one else for the ball to fall to.
01:13Well, that's nicely done.
01:15And a strike as well.
01:17Samson pushing it away.
01:18But there was Stamway.
01:20Sharp play from Hurt.
01:21Loved that from Georgia Stamway.
01:23I'm pretty sure she threw in a lovely little nutmeg there as well to get a shot off.
01:27Fantastic play from Georgia Stamway.
01:29And England may be in here this time.
01:30Hemp with a pullback.
01:31Killer Brown.
01:32Good chance for Hurt.
01:34And it didn't quite go over the line.
01:38How close.
01:41To score your first England goal.
01:46First half an hour played in one third of the pitch.
01:50Tynes goes short.
01:52Park.
01:54To send it in.
01:55Not the worst ball in the world.
01:56Rovamoy with a back kill.
01:58And it was cleared off the line.
02:01Well, England can't believe they haven't scored.
02:04Do you know what?
02:05I actually understand why a lot of Rovamoy did that in that situation.
02:08Because it was exactly the way the ball lined up for her to do.
02:10I would have done the exact same thing.
02:12Here's Hemp.
02:14And drives through.
02:15Hemp.
02:16Maisie Rod Classy just passed the post.
02:19And it's exactly what I was talking about moments ago, Seb.
02:22It's going to take somebody to do a fantastic run like Lauren Hemp just did.
02:28Hemp.
02:30Hemp.
02:31Harry Patterson.
02:33Defensively strong player.
02:34But the important in the attack here for England.
02:37So much time apart the pitch.
02:39And that slip through.
02:40Russo.
02:41Tidy feet.
02:41Tidy finish.
02:43And there is the England breakthrough.
02:46And it comes via familiar sauce.
02:49In more ways than one.
02:52England carving.
02:54Ukraine opened.
02:56Right at the start of the second half
02:59Great finish, great touch
03:01Lovely composure from Alessia Russo in that moment
03:03I spoke about it in the first half
03:05I didn't feel like England created a lot of opportunities
03:08In front of goal
03:09But it was a lovely play
03:10Lovely little ball from Kieran Walsh
03:11And I love that Alessia Russo sits down
03:14The defender doesn't panic in his way
03:16But look, most players
03:16Lovely little chop inside
03:18I like the fact that Serena Vigman
03:20Has switched the wingers as well
03:21Lauren Hemp going to the right-hand side
03:23Jess Park to the left-hand side
03:24Hemp cuts inside
03:26Looks for Russo again
03:29And she tucks that one away as well
03:33What a fast start to this second half for England
03:36And two for Alessia Russo
03:41Brilliant from England
03:43Brilliant from Lauren Hemp
03:44I've just complimented Serena Vigman
03:45Making that tactical change
03:47And what a genius she is
03:48Because it's worked
03:49You know, six minutes into this second half
03:51England are 2-0 up
03:52Alessia Russo's got two goals
03:54And I did say, you know
03:55Alessia is the type of player
03:56You give her the ball
03:56She'll put it in the back of the net
03:57In the first half
03:59There wasn't many opportunities
04:00But I love this
04:01The fact that Lauren Hemp
04:02Cuts back inside
04:03Plays a lovely little ball into
04:05Alessia Russo
04:05Picks her out
04:06And that would have caused a lot of problems
04:08For Ukraine
04:08Because they'd have been thinking
04:09The second half
04:10You know, Lauren Hemp will be on the left
04:11Just Park will be on the right
04:12The Lioness has switched it up
04:13And it's working wonders
04:15Scraps as far as
04:17As long as a concern
04:18Now this for Kalanina
04:22What a moment for Ukraine
04:25Their first attack
04:27Of the game
04:28And they score
04:31And you can hear the joy
04:33From the players
04:35And the staff as well
04:37And Yana Kalanina
04:40Who is a creative force for them
04:42Hasn't been able to show
04:43In this game
04:44For the first opportunity
04:46And they take it
04:49Wow, I don't think anybody
04:51Saw that coming at all
04:52One chance
04:53One opportunity
04:54England don't defend their lines
04:56At all
04:57Looks like Esme Morgan
04:57Just got caught underneath it
04:59A little bit
05:00Fair play to Kalanina
05:02Because she was exquisite
05:03In that moment
05:04Here's Morgan
05:06Sliding into Hemp
05:07Hemp turns
05:09And the penalty's given
05:12So the referee
05:13Points to the spot
05:14Katerina Campos
05:15Hemp certainly looked like
05:16She was caught
05:17Fell on the ball
05:18And it forced the referee's hand
05:20In the end
05:21Yeah, definite pen all day long
05:22It'd be interesting
05:23Because it looks like
05:23Alessia Russo's going to take it
05:25Georgia Stanway's usually the one
05:27To restore the advances
05:29They had
05:30And she does
05:34So no mistake
05:35From Georgia Stanway
05:36Yet again
05:37From the penalty spot
05:43Morgan
05:43In for Russo
05:51And Russo again
05:52Looking for Park
05:55Midfielders love to have a player
05:57Like Alessia Russo up front
05:58She can turn a bad ball
06:04Into a good ball
06:05Stanway
06:06Stanway
06:07There's the power
06:08The precision
06:10And two for Georgia Stanway
06:12A standout for England tonight
06:16And it's
06:17A fourth
06:18For the Lionesses
06:22What a goal
06:23I said
06:23Georgia Stanway
06:24Scores from the penalty spot
06:25Equally from distance
06:27Effortlessly
06:28Puts this one in the back
06:30And then it is
06:30Such a fantastic strike
06:31I said in the first half
06:32I thought she was
06:33England's best player
06:34It's been fantastic
06:35For Bayern Munich
06:36This year as well
06:37Captain in their side
06:38At times
06:40Such good play
06:41Exceptional
06:42Keepers got no chance
06:43Samson's got no chance
06:47Walsh
06:50Slip through
06:51Stanway
06:52With a ball
06:53Across Park
06:56And England now cruising
07:00Five goals scored
07:02In the second half
07:03And a commanding advantage
07:06And for Jess Park
07:08Assistance paying off
07:14Brilliant from Georgia
07:15Stanway again
07:17Like I said
07:18Best player on the pitch
07:19For me
07:19Regardless of her goals
07:20Jess Park
07:21Makes a fantastic run
07:22Centrally
07:23I'm happy for Jess Park
07:24Because I think a big game
07:25Is needed for her
07:26Tonight
07:28Kille Brown
07:29Moving it on
07:30Kendall
07:32Park
07:34Park
07:35Oh she deserves that
07:37As well
07:40A player
07:41Capable of coming up
07:43With something special
07:45And another
07:46England player
07:47Who's on a hat-trick
07:48Now
07:50And for Jess Park
07:51That's the
07:52Sort of quality
07:53The decisiveness
07:54That Serena Vigman
07:55Has been looking for
07:56From a very
07:57Very talented player
08:01What a goal
08:02From Jess Park
08:03Exactly what she's
08:04Been doing this year
08:05For Manchester United
08:07Scoring from distance
08:08I love this
08:09Love it
08:10What a strike that is
08:11Would have want anyone else
08:12To pick this up
08:13In this position
08:18So England pick up
08:19Their first
08:20Three points
08:21On the road
08:22To World Cup qualification
08:25And they did it all
08:26In the second half
08:27Six
08:28Second half goals
08:29To take the game
08:31Away from Ukraine
08:32Who did get on the
08:32Score sheet themselves
08:34Through Yana
08:35Kalanina
08:36But England
08:38On the score sheet
08:39Thanks
08:40Two from Alessia Russo
08:42Two from Georgia
08:43Stanway
08:43And two
08:43From Jess Park
08:45None of them able
08:46To complete a hat-trick
08:47But who cares about that
08:48Because England
08:49Have got the ball rolling
08:50And in some style
08:51Thanks to that strong
08:53Second half display
08:54And they move on
08:55To Iceland next
08:56But the final score
08:57In Turkey
08:58Is Ukraine one
09:00England six
09:01Thanks
09:01Thanks
09:01Jennifer
09:01Thanks
09:01Christians
