England’s 3-1 first‑leg win left coach Sarina Wiegman craving more fire from her squad, even against a modest Greek side.
Georgia Stanway’s tidy finish, Maya Le Tissier’s maiden England goal and Alessia Russo’s low strike gave the Lionesses control, while Kallisti Brouksair’s goal kept Greece alive – for my money, England’s clinical edge proves they belong among the elite.
Wiegman admitted the team made things harder for itself, praising Greece’s preparation, organisation and discipline, then added she’s pleased with the 3‑1 result but not with the lone goal conceded.
We showed brilliance on the ball at times, yet slipped in others – could we tighten up for Tuesday’s return leg?
