England fans jumped to their feet as they celebrated three goals against Australia in the Women’s World Cup semi-final.

The Lionesses roared into a first-half lead as Ella Toone sent a stunning strike into the top corner, but Sam Kerr hit back with a screamer of her own to level the game shortly after the break.

With the game in the balance, England’s Lauren Hemp popped up to poke home a second, giving the European champions a 2-1 lead heading into the final exchanges.

Alessia Russo then added a third, finishing off a fine counter-attack, to send the Lionesses into their first-ever World Cup final.

Fans gathered at Boxpark in London to cheer on the team and witness the historic win.
