Toone became the 51st Lioness to earn her 50th cap on a positive night for Sarina Wiegman's side. After suffering defeat four days before against the same opposition, England needed a huge win to remain within touching distance of the group leaders. The European champions look to have finally found their form with both Russo and Toone playing a key role in the 2-1 win.

With the two international matches for June out of the way, England now have a month to prepare for games against the Republic of Ireland and Sweden.
