Five things we learned as England booked place in Euros quarter-finals
Six different scorers provided the goods for the Lionesses as Hannah Cain grabbed a late consolation for Wales. With France having triumphed 5-2 against the Netherlands in Basel it means England finish Group D in second. Here are the five key takeaways from their victory over Wales… Fate decided The three points against Wales saw England confirm their place in the quarter-finals at Euro 2025 as they finish second in Group D. It means they also now know a potential route to the final with a last-eight tie against Sweden on Thursday in Zurich confirmed. With the Netherlands falling to 5-2 defeat against France, despite leading 2-1, England finished three points behind Les Bleues but three ahead of the Dutch. It sets up a rematch of their Euro 2022 semi-final victory when they won 4-0, including a standout backheeled goal by Alessia Russo. But the Group C winners look in brilliant form, having just defeated Germany 4-1 to top their group. Should England manage to overcome that challenge, they avoid Spain on their side of the draw and will face a semi-final against Norway or Italy. A fine display all round 🌟#Lionesses | @chase_uk Toooooone Since Sarina Wiegman left Ella Toone on the bench for England's opening loss to France, the number 10 has made it a personal mission to ensure she never ends up back there. With two goals in two games and a 100% pass completion against Wales, she certainly has the stats to back up her selection. Her goal and two assists against Wales came in just one half of football. And that has been backed up with the performances to match. Toone has looked tenacious as a key cog in the English press, closing the ball down as soon as it enters the central pockets and creating turnovers high up the pitch. She has been equally as instructive in attack, putting the ball on a plate for both Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo to finish in the first half as well as grabbing a goal herself. While she might mistake the 'Toooone' shouts for boos, there is no doubting the travelling English support only have reason to celebrate her performances in Switzerland so far. England a step above At points in the first half in St. Gallen, it appeared Wales were giving goals away as though they were bottles of Prime in Waterloo Station. The reality was that the gulf in quality just proved too stark. England were faster and stronger as they pressed Wales high up the pitch, forcing them into errors early on. Ella Toone's goal highlighted the problem. As Leah Williamson pinged a ball out to Lauren Hemp on the left, the forward saw her cross cut out, but Georgia Stanway pounced as Wales failed to clear their lines fast enough. The ball squeezed through to Alessia Russo, who took the goalkeeper out of the equation before Toone was allowed two attempts at goal before finally hitting the back of the net. At each stage England were faster to react and their six-goal total proved they were simply too much to handle for Wales. It represents the biggest margin of victory at the tournament so far, while Wales' goal difference of minus-11 is the worst on record in the group stages of a women's Euros. But Wales have reason to be proud While the performance left much to be desired on Sunday evening and saw Wales heading home from Switzerland, they have plenty to be proud of from their stint at the tournament. The debutants not only scored their first-ever major tournament goal to equalise early on against France, they managed to repeat the feat against an England side in their stride. Jess Fishlock's pass through to Cain demonstrated the levels Wales can rise to as she played the former Leicester player in behind with a perfectly weighted pass. Cain's finish was equally brilliant as she fired past Hannah Hampton into the far top corner with aplomb. For a first major tournament with a significantly smaller player pool than their opponents, they have not disgraced themselves in the 'group of death' and have given the travelling fans plenty to celebrate. A big win to secure progression from Group D! 🔒🙌 The Red Wall stands strong Despite travelling to Switzerland with a strong possibility that their side may not even win a match, Wales have brought the numbers for their first appearance at a major tournament. Nowhere was that more evident than in St. Gallen where red shirts flooded the city during the day before piling into Kybunpark for what proved to be their final game at the tournament. In fact, despite the gulf in expectations, the Welsh fans brought a 2,400-strong contingent for their allocated section, with plenty more spread out in the neutral seats, compared to the 2,100 sold for England's end. The red, yellow and green bucket hats were in full force, and the Welsh were in customarily fine voice with a goosebump-raising rendition of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. The loudest roar of the night came in the 76th minute when Hannah Cain brilliant strike earnt a late consolation for Wales and gave the wall of red reason enough to commence celebrations.

Chris Gotterup earns second career win with victory at Scottish Open
July 14 - The biggest win of Chris Gotterup's career brought an emotional response. Gotterup shot a 4-under par 66 to outduel Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and win the Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday at North Berwick, Scotland. "This is awesome," Gotterup said, fighting back tears. "I'm not going to be able to keep it together." But he kept it together at key moments in the final round. Gotterup's 15-under 265 total was two strokes better than McIlroy and England's Marco Penge at The Renaissance Club. Gotterup won for the second time on the PGA Tour. Sunday's outcome guaranteed him a spot during the coming week in The Open Championship. Penge shot 66 in the final round and McIlroy posted 68. McIlroy, aiming to win the tournament for the second time in three years, led after back-to-back birdies on the fourth and fifth holes. But after a birdie on No. 8, he had pars across each of the last 10 holes. "Chris played a great round of golf," McIlroy said. "He was so solid. Made the bogey on 15 but bounced back with a really nice birdie on 16. Yeah, after he got a couple ahead, I just couldn't claw back." Denmark's Nicolai Hojgaard (64) and England's Matt Fitzpatrick (67) shared fourth place at 12 under. Gotterup used four birdies on a six-hole stretch ending at No. 12 to move to the top. He held a two-shot edge until his bogey on No. 15, where he hit his tee shot in the rough. But on the next hole, Gotterup rolled in a 10-foot birdie for a two-shot advantage again. He sensed it was a key situation. "This is it," he said of the moment, "and it went right in the center." Gotterup said he was most proud of how he held steady during the crucial stretches. "It's just so cool," he said. "I played really well this week, and I knew today was going to be tough. I hung in there like a champ and finished it off in style." Now with the opportunity to stay in Europe and play in The Open Championship, Gotterup will show up with new-found confidence. "I was a one-time champion," he said. "Two-time champ sounds a lot better. I know what I'm capable of and I know when I feel the way I did today, I can beat the best." McIlroy, the Masters champion, said he's in a good groove as he looks ahead to the coming week as he'll try to win a major for the second time this year. "It has been a great week," he said. "Missing the trophy, that's about it." Like Gotterup, Hojgaard also secured a spot in the Open Championship based on his work in Scotland. "I knew what was on the line," Hojgaard said. "I did the same thing in '23, actually. So I've done it before, and I kind of knew my game was in a good place." The best round of the day belonged to England's Justin Rose, who shot 63 and moved to sixth place at 11 under, which was one shot better than Austria's Sepp Straka (67). "That's maybe about as clean a round as I've played all year to be honest with you," Rose said. "People think about the Masters but there were a few bogeys in there whereas today was 7 birdies, virtually no long putts holed. It was just a very, very clean round of golf." World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finished tied for eighth at 9 under after his second 67 of the tournament. Colombia's Nico Echavarria, who began on the back nine, hit a hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth hole, with the ball dribbling into the cup. He had a 67 for the round and was at 5 under for the tournament. "It's a tiny, tiny small part of the green where the pin is, and decided to go right at it," Echavarria said. "Good line by the caddie." Defending champion Robert MacIntyre of Scotland had a 71 for the second time in the tournament and finished at 2 over and tied for 65th. Because of weather concerns mostly related to fog, tee times were moved up and golfers were placed in threesomes. --Field Level Media
