England beat Australia 3-1 in the Womens World Cup semi-finals; Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo were on target for the Lionesses; Sarina Wiegman has guided a team to another major tournament final; England will face Spain in the final on Sunday; kick-off 11am
However, the Lionesses did see their defences breached by a sensational strike from Sam Kerr, who returned to the Matildas XI after much speculation following an injury.Wiegman added:"People have been talking about ruthlessness all the time, in this team there is ruthlessness, up front or in defence. We really want to keep the ball out of the net and we want to win.
"I can hardly describe how proud I am of the team, and how they've adapted - before the tournament, during the tournament and during this game, how we came through and found a way to win is incredible.Daly: Those 1-0 wins look good now! "The inner belief we have in this team is frightening. We don't tend to listen to the outside noise and it proved tonight, with the atmosphere.
"Sarina said it was going to be loud, the Colombia game was loud as well, but nothing is louder than Wembley and we've played there a few times so we were well prepared for an atmosphere like that, although it was against us. But it's all part of the game, it made it more exciting."
