Expect the unpredictable seems to be the new mantra for Sarina Wiegman’s side. After a vivacious performance in front of a partisan Adelaide crowd, the Lionesses progressed to the Round of 16 in style with a 6-1 victory over China.

The Chinese pulled a goal back through a controversially awarded penalty that Wang Shuang duly converted.
If there was any doubt about whether England’s form would dip after a prolonged break, it was swiftly put to bed on Thursday night.

Chelsea reached their sixth Continental Cup semi-final in as many seasons as they eased past Tottenham at Brisbane Road. A brace from Sam Kerr and strike from Fran Kirby set Emma Hayes’ side up for a 3-1 victory over their London rivals.
