England take victory in six-goal thriller against Portugal
England produced a dominant performance as they defeated Portugal 6-0 in a UEFA Women's Nations League fixture at Wembley last night. The reigning European champions blew their opponents away in a rampant first half performance which saw them net five goals. Chelsea forward Aggie Beever-Jones was the star of the show, netting a 33-minute hat-trick. Advertisement Sarina Wiegman's side took the lead inside the first three minutes with Beever-Jones capitalising on a defensive mishap from Portugal, allowing her to place the ball beyond Inês Pereira and into the bottom corner of the net. The Lionesses' lead was then doubled by Lucy Bronze, just a minute later. She headed into an open goal after Pereira had blocked Beth Mead's initial shot. Portugal's first attempt on goal came in the 10th minute as Andreia Norton's close range header clipped the outside of the post. Beever-Jones netted her second of the match in the 26th minute after a period of attacking momentum from England, the Chelsea youngster heading the ball past Pereira. Advertisement Mead then pushed the advantage to four just before the half-hour mark as she beat her defender and fired into the far corner of Pereira's goal.

After a dominant first half, the Lionesses continued their attacking play in the second period with two early chances produced for Mead and Grace Clinton. However, neither were successful in adding to the scoreline. Second half substitute Chloe Kelly was able to give the Lionesses a sixth goal of the night when her header from close range beat Pereira.
