Agyemang caps late drama as Lionesses go the distance

There were only 102 seconds between Lucy Bronze's goal and the strike from the 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang that cancelled out Sweden's two-goal advantage and forced extra time.

It had been all Sweden; England were down and out, their Euros crown relinquished, but you can never bet against Sarina Wiegman in a major tournament and although many were screaming for her changes to come sooner, it was her late cavalry that delivered to level the score and force the game beyond 90 minutes.

Kosovare Asllani had promised that Sweden had the "perfect gameplan" for facing the team with whom they share many similar characteristics. The first blow was dealt in the second minute and the target of Sweden's gameplan was clear: attack England's new look left-hand side. Jess Carter had struggled at left back against France and was swapped with the left-sided centre-back Alex Greenwood for their remaining two group games. The move had seemed effective, but it was immediately compromised by the Swedes.

Under pressure, Carter's pass to Keira Walsh fell short and was intercepted, the second time she had turned over the ball within a minute, and it fell kindly for Stina Blackstenius who squared to Asllani and the midfielder fired low past Hannah Hampton into the bottom corner.
