ZURICH (Reuters) -Chelsea forward Aggie Beever-Jones is one of a group of talented youngsters on England's team at Euro 2025, after putting on a dazzling display at Wembley in May with a first-half hat-trick against Portugal in the Nations League.

All seven trophy-winning teams at the Women's European Championship since 1997 were led to glory by a female coach.

England had their backs against the wall ahead of their clash with the Netherlands, but they delivered a performance of quality and determination, shredding the Dutch 4-0. Now a win over Wales would guarantee a spot in the quarter-finals, and the Welsh have understandably found the leap to this kind of level a step too far.

England 's Lauren James scored twice, while Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone also found the net to put the defending women's European champions firmly back in the driver's seat at Euro 2025 with an emphatic 4-0 victory over the Netherlands on Wednesday.

The marquee matchup, which France won 2-1, drew 690,000 viewers, a 329% spike from the previous group stage average.
