England's national football team, led by Sarina Wiegman, achieved a significant 6-1 victory over Wales in the European Championships. The urgency to secure their quarter-final position was evident following a previous defeat to France. Wiegman praised the team's togetherness and improved performance, particularly noteworthy was the tactical shift that included Ella Toone's revitalization in the No 10 role, supported by Lauren James on the wing. Keira Walsh recognized Toone's impactful play, both offensively and defensively. Toone's recent performances, highlighted by a goal and two assists, signify her return to form and enjoyment of the game.
We knew today would be a different game because we knew we would have the ball a lot. I'm very happy with the performance.
People speak about her offensively, but the defensive work she does for me and Georgia is incredible. She covers a lot of spaces.
In her two tournament appearances, Toone has looked back to her best. A goal and two assists in 45 minutes against Wales made her a standout performer.
I feel like I'm in a really good place. I've missed this Ella Toone. I feel like I'm really coming into it and I'm really enjoying it.
