England player Lucy Bronze was visibly emotional after the Lionesses’ emphatic World Cup semi-final win over Australia.

Interviewed by the BBC on the pitch and asked how she felt, Bronze was struggling for words.

She said: “I don’t know. This is the one thing I have always wanted, to make the final of the World Cup.

“After getting two times of such disappointment, I can’t believe it.”

Asked what coach Sarina Wiegman said in the huddle after the win, Bronze said: “Just that we played the game how we wanted to. We were resilient and we were determined.”
