Greg Morter: Cheeky personified by Alessia Russo and icing on the cake for the Lionesses
Jay Baker: Alessia Russo! Take a Bow!
Christian Evans: I thought after the Spain game, Russo wasn't given the praise she deserved as she was class when she came on - maybe she will now!
England 3-0 Sweden
Bramall Lane has 28,624 people in it. This is a new record for a Women's Euros semi-final.
Most of them are getting exactly what they want.

It's all gone wrong for Sweden.

It's demoralising for Sweden. If that goal is not taking the mickey, I don't know what is.
England 3-0 Sweden
Audacious and outrageous.
Alessia Russo has had to watch on from the start of games as Ellen White did her stuff. But when called upon, the Man Utd forward has stepped up in style.
Take a bow.

Jason Cole: Goal of the century.
Jack Tanner: My god that is naughty
Stuie Neale: MEGS!!!!! The Lionesses are going to Wembley!!!

Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC One
Wow! Have you ever had a better, more impactful player off the bench? This was patience and quality from England. Russo thought the chance had gone.
Oh! Oh! The cheek! If that happened to me in training I'd have been having a go.
It's the improvisation and recognising that could even happen that catches you out as a keeper. The precision of that finish, there's nothing an iconic keeper like Lindahl can do about that.
There have been jaw-dropping moments in this tournament and that's another one.

Stephen Warnock
Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at Bramall Lane
Absolutely outrageous. Alessia Russo is running towards the corner flag with her back to goal and she back heels it. It's one of the best goals you will ever see.
Alessia Russo
Dear Wembley, get yourself ready for the Lionesses...
This is the cheekiest goal you'll see all Euros!
After she sees an effort from close range saved by Hedvig Lindahl, Alessia Russo chases down the ball and then whips out a backheel that nutmegs - YES, NUTMEGS - the keeper to send England into a 3-0 lead.
I mean, why not, it's only the semi-final of a major tournament!
England 2-0 Sweden
More huge cheers for Mary Earps from this crowd.
The England keeper is authority personified as she comes out to claim ahead of Stina Blackstenius.

That was wonderful. Right under the bar. She gets her feet moving and pushes it over with her top hand. The looping trajectory of the ball made it even harder for Mary Earps.
England 2-0 Sweden
Save!
Mary Earps leaps backwards and tips a looping effort from Stina Blackstenius over the bar. This after England had earlier scrambled the ball away from their own line.
Crucial moments for England. Sweden sense the chance to get back into this.
England 2-0 Sweden
Excellent work from Leah Williamson!
Stina Blackstenius tries to weave her way into a shooting chance in the box, but the England skipper times her tackle to perfection before clearing the ball.
England 2-0 Sweden
Sweden look frustrated and ragged.
They win a corner but whip it right into the near sidenetting.

The introduction of Alessia Russo has already scared Sweden. She is going to give England that edge.
England 2-0 Sweden
Thirty minutes to go.
England in control. They've not had this game all their own way, but this is dream scenario. Stand firm, stay disciplined, pick Sweden off.

What a ball in from Alessia Russo. That's what you get from her. Her long legs power past a defender.
Lauren Hemp just can't get over the ball. She's almost leaning back. She won't get a getter chance.
England 2-0 Sweden

Now that is what you call an instant impact. The fans here were on their feet at Alessia Russo's introduction and she made a very quick impression with that ball for Lauren Hemp. Should be 3-0!
