Defending champs get 'nice' send-off for Women's Euro with 7-0 rout of Jamaica

Lionesses Ready To Roar

LEICESTER - England issued a statement of intent ahead of the Women's European Championship, demolishing Jamaica 7-0 at home in their final pre-tournament friendly on June 29.

The reigning European champions dominated from start to finish and although Jamaica had an equaliser ruled out for offside, Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses controlled the match, pushing to settle the game before half-time.

Ella Toone opened the scoring, followed by a headed goal from Lucy Bronze, before Toone again scored deep into first-half stoppage time at Leicester City's King Power Stadium.

The onslaught continued after the interval, with Georgia Stanway adding England's fourth just before the hour mark, followed by Alessia Russo making it five in the 71st minute.

With five minutes to go, Aggie Beever-Jones netted the sixth, before Beth Mead capped the rout with a seventh in the dying moments.

"We enjoyed that game today. A lot of goals and a clean sheet. It's nice to send ourselves off to the Euro," Toone told ITV.
