I didn't know when I wrote my post - their preview only said they would put the highlights up.

Clearly I give up way too easily and don't pay enough attention 😀 - thanks!

City v Chelsea and Brighton v Liverpool are ideal semifinals for the neutral.

Amazing performance from the Lionesses!

I missed it Only just got home.

Hemp scored from a corner only just over the line after 3 minutes. We had a few more chances in the first half but didn't make the most of them.

Spain came out all guns blazing in second half and we defended brilliantly, some hairy moments, a few hit the bar and some good saves from Hampton. My only criticism would be that we couldn't get out to attack ourselves but all in all the 3 points is what matters.

Russo’s assist was crazy!!! What composure- she is a helluva player!!

Yes, very nervy at the end but well done to them.

You all know how much I love Alessia Russo.

Am I allowed another Alessia Russo appreciation post? Brilliant goal to put the Lionesses 1-0 up.

And another disgraceful pitch

Keep the Russo appreciation posts coming

Agree about the pitch

That second half wasn't very good 😬

Definitely much harder than it should have been!

The only consolation is I'm not sure how Spain will manage on that pitch! 😂

Yes, not sure what happened in the second half.
