The Lionesses see off Spain at Wembley and Ireland finally get a win!

The Lionesses see off Spain at Wembley and Ireland finally get a win!

Author: Stak April 15, 2026 Duration: 35:30

Sazzy Wiegs’ England continue to make Wembley their fortress, battling their way to a 1-0 win over their old foe Spain. Lauren Hemp scored in the blink of an eye (Chloe’s calling it a “semi bicycle kick half-turn volley”) and Hannah Hampton was heroic at the death.


Elsewhere, Katie McCabe can’t stop scoring for Ireland! After narrow defeats to France and the Netherlands, they managed to hold on to defeat Poland in Gdansk. What a screamer from the captain, by the way.
