World Cup wrap: England account for Iceland
Lucy Bronze scored on her 145th cap and Georgia Stanway netted her 32nd England goal to secure a perfect start in Women's World Cup qualifying.
- On Saturday at the City Ground, England women's national team beat Iceland women's national team 2-0 with goals from Lucy Bronze and Georgia Stanway.
- A one-sided first half left The Lionesses only 1-0 ahead at halftime despite 31 shots and lacking the clinical edge seen four days earlier against Ukraine.
- Bronze's milestone came early and Stanway later added a second, with Bronze reaching her 145th cap and Stanway scoring her 32nd England goal while Hannah Hampton made a vital save at the hour mark.
- The victory delivered back-to-back World Cup qualifying wins for England and continued their 100% start in front of a sold-out Nottingham crowd.
- Four days after a six-goal display against Ukraine, the Lionesses' tighter win highlighted finishing inconsistency despite dominant control in the first half.
