    Lauren James must be licking her lips on the substitutes bench against this Luxembourg defence. Will Sarina Wiegman give the 20-year-old a decent run out after half time?

    In games like tonight, be creative. Try and execute different things and see if they come off.

    England have now scored 111 goals in 21 and a bit games under Sarina Wiegman. Ruthless.

    It was a really simple move. Beth Mead manages to time her run and pulls it back. Often we've seen those crosses and they can be so predictable. But that cut back and everything about that goal was of a high quality.

    This was always likely to be a heavy scoreline for Luxembourg. England still don't look as sharp as they can be but they are causing plenty of damage.

    It was a lovely move down the left. All Stanway had to do was tap it home and she did that.

    The European champions are running riot.

    What a lovely move involving Ella Toone and Beth Mead before Georgia Stanway gets her second.

    Stanway is on a hat-trick already.

    And another chance.

    This time it is Rachel Daly who forces the keeper into a save and then Ella Toone finds the net but it is disallowed.

    England are averaging one attempt every three minutes.

    Luxembourg have done really well. There were a lot of bodies in there and Greenwood's attempt just comes back off the post.

    Pinball inside the Luxembourg box. It ends with the post being clattered by Alex Greenwood's header before the visitors just about hack it clear.

    It's already turning into a damage-limitation exercise for the team ranked 117th in the world. They've had no shots and 15% possession.

    Alessia Russo had two HUGE chances before finally scoring. It's a brilliant first-time cross from Leah Williamson. Russo didn't celebrate, instead apologising to Beth Mead for missing the chance a few minutes ago! That tells you the high standards England have for themselves.

    Luxembourg defended well in that first phase but Leah Williamson got it back in quickly and there was nothing the goalkeeper could do about that once Russo got her head on it.

    She doesn't miss this time!

    It's two in two starts for Alessia Russo who heads past the keeper after an outstanding cross by Leah Williamson.

    Superb from the skipper.

    Alessia Russo is causing so many problems. Another chance falls to the Manchester United forward but she puts it narrowly wide.

    England are so organised and they're just not letting Luxembourg have any chance to come through.

    Again, Ella Toone has time to play forward and find Alessia Russo, right in front of goal. She probably could have done better but the Luxembourg keeper makes a good save.

    That's 71 goal in World Cup qualifying for England and it's so nearly 72 moments later. Alessia Russo, goal hero against Austria at the weekend, is denied by the keeper after good work by Ella Toone.

    It took 11 minutes but England have scored their first goal on home soil as European champions!

    There was no doubt about the penalty decision. There could have been one seconds before with a handball shout but Alessia Russo was clearly tripped.

    Now England are off the mark, you would expect them to up the tempo.

    Ella Toone just plays a simple ball into Russo and the defender just hacked at her leg.

    In those big moment, who do you want to turn to? Georgia Stanway. The keeper goes the right way but there was too much power on it.
