    Northern Ireland are currently beating Austria 2-1 which means they move up to second place in the table as it stands.

    But England, no matter how the other results go, will remain top with four wins from four.

    They have 12 points and are still yet to concede a goal in World Cup qualifying.

    I couldn't keep track of the goalscorers so here's a reminder:

    Ella Toone x3

    Rachel Daly x2

    Ellen White, Beth Mead, Millie Bright, Leah Williamson and Georgia Stanway x1

    FT: Latvia 0-10 England

    Nikita Parris and Rachel Daly are complaining there was still stoppage-time minutes to be played. How often do you see that?!

    Mary Earps has other priorities. She sprints over to get the ball (she has lots of spare energy) and is immediately off in search of Manchester United team-mate Ella Toone.

    All over in Latvia. The referee blows for full-time exactly on 90 minutes. The England players are unhappy about it!

    Poor Mary Earps is actually jogging in the box at the other end to stay warm...

    Not a night to be an England goalkeeper.

    Latvia 0-10 England

    Keira Walsh gets it back from Beth Mead in the box and almost walks it into the net before she's eventually stopped.

    Minutes to go. England want another. Rachel Daly is still chasing a hat-trick too.

    Rachel Daly is pushed over outside the box now too. Latvia are really tired!

    Georgia Stanway clips in the free-kick but Bethany England can't beat the keeper to it.

    Latvia 0-10 England

    The corner is played short before it's drilled in to Keira Walsh. She tees it up then curls it towards the back post, looking for Nikita Parris.

    It trickles behind for a goal kick.

    Georgia Stanway is caught late as England win a free-kick on the edge of the Latvia box.

    It's played short to Nikita Parris, who flicks it over to Rachel Daly but she's pushed wide.

    30 seconds without a goal, phew!

    Rachel Daly (82 mins)

    I can't keep up!

    It's a precise pass from Beth Mead through to Rachel Daly and she rounds the keeper before poking it into an empty net.

    Georgia Stanway (81 mins)

    And another!

    Georgia Stanway takes this one well. She steps onto her left foot then drills it into the right corner.

    A big fist pump to celebrate too.

    GOAL - Latvia 0-8 Englandpublished at 20:06 British Summer Time 26 October 2021

    Leah Williamson (79 mins)

    Goal of the night contender?

    It's one for the skipper! It's rolled into the box for Leah Williamson. She takes a touch then coolly curls it into the right corner.

    It ripples the inside of the side-netting. The most Williamson-like goal.

    Latvia 0-7 England

    Nikita Parris' cross comes to Beth Mead at the back post and she has time to take a touch before she gets a shot off.

    Latvia definitely have 20 defenders on.

    Latvia 0-7 England

    Rachel Daly wants another goal and she almost makes one for herself. She cuts in off the left and curls it dangerously towards the top right corner. It's not too far over!

    It should be 8-0.

    Beth Mead puts an excellent delivery into the box but Lotte Wubben-Moy heads it just wide.

  20. 'We don't want to be watching cricket scores'published at 19:59 British Summer Time 26 October 2021

    Latvia 0-7 England

    Chelsea Women's manager Emma Hayes on ITV 4: "Uefa and Fifa need to invest more in the smaller nations and grow the game worldwide.

    "England can only beat what's in front of them, but we don't want to be watching games which are cricket scores. A team like Latvia needs more funding, more support, probably a better calendar schedule.

    "Latvia have defended for their lives in the second half as best as they can. It's all about what Fifa and Uefa can do to divert funds to grow countries like Latvia and their leagues.

    "Maybe have something like the Nations League in the men's game - something needs to be done."
