    It's against Norway who were coming here to be medal contestants.

    Eight-nothing. Norway weren't even on the pitch today. England had so much time and space and what England did with that space was amazing.

    The scenes here at full-time are amazing. England's players held hands and stood in front of supporters and the stand containing their families to sing "Sweet Caroline" before taking a lap of honour. They are dancing their way into the knockout stages.

    What you have to give England credit for is the relentlessness in that press. Nobody in that Norway midfield could get anywhere near them, because every England player stuck to their job relentlessly.

    Perran: Can we get a shout out for Keira Walsh? So calm on the ball, always available- pass completion must be very high, but doesn't always play the easy pass. Was brilliant in the first game too.

    That is as good as it gets. A team tactically and physically executing a game plan.

    England can do this to a team. Today it was brilliant, a fantastic performance from England.

    They are through as group winners. Nobody is forgetting this game in a hurry.

    Beth Mead has the match ball in her hands. One for the trophy cabinet back home.

    She scored three, England netted eight. Sarina Wiegman is dishing out high fives and hugs, the Lionesses are dancing with each other and everyone in the stands are on their feet applauding.

    Wow. I think this result obviously shows you England can score goals. But it also shows you they have character, enthusiasm and versatility in every part of their squad.

    This has been a spectacular England performance in every department. The back line has been steadfast in and out of possession. The attacking players have done their defensive roles. It's been a polished, ruthless performance.
