England scored twice in the first quarter of the match to win 2-0 away to Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Qualifiers.
The Lionesses were two up in under 20 minutes, Lauren James finding the net after a Lucy Bronze header deflected into her path, Alex Greenwood converting a penalty when Ruesha Littlejohn was adjudged to have handballed a volley from Jess Park.
England were awarded a second spot-kick for handball, this time against Louise Quinn but on this occasion Greenwood’s penalty hit the post and rebounded across the goalmouth but away.
While England move onto four points from two games, Ireland have lost their first two group games.
