Toone hitting all the right notes - Mead

ENGLAND forward Beth Mead heaped praise on “unbelievable” teammate Ella Toone after she helped propel the defending champions into the Euro 2025 quarterfinals with a goal and two assists in their 6-1 victory over Wales in St Gallen.

Georgia Stanway opened the scoring with a 13th-minute penalty before Toone found the top corner and then turned provider for Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo.

Mead and Aggie Beever-Jones both got on the scoresheet in the second half, while Wales' consolation came from substitute Hannah Cain, a welcome parting gift for the passionate support who had travelled to Switzerland for their first major tournament.

"I think she was unbelievable," said Mead, who also provided the assist for Beever-Jones.
