England on Wednesday reached the Women’s World Cup final for the first time as they spoiled co-hosts Australia’s party on a historic evening in Sydney with a 3-1 victory.

The Lionesses controlled proceedings until the second half when Australia threw everything at them and star striker Sam Kerr – starting her first match of the tournament – struck a 25-yard stunner over goalkeeper Mary Earps’ head to make it 1-1, according to the Independent report.

But England found a way back into the game when Lauren Hemp pounced on a defensive error to restore their lead, before Alessia Russo made sure of victory late on to set up a final with Spain on Sunday.
