Sarina Wiegman’s side were lucky to beat Sweden and semi-final opponents Italy have been handed a clear look at how to beat the Lionesses

England will face Italy in the last four after overcoming Sweden following a dramatic quarter-final tie in Zurich on Thursday night. The Lionesses trailed 2-0 with 11 minutes on the clock but quick-fire goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang forced extra-time and then penalties.

The European Championships quarter-final clash between England and Sweden is a repeat of the 2022 semi-final in the same competition, a game England won 4-0 en route to lifting the trophy. The English will hope it’s a similar story here after a mixed bag at the Euros thus far.
