The Lionesses held on to beat the group leaders 2-1 in Saint Etienne.
GOALS FROM GEORGIA Stanway and Alessia Russo secured England a vital 2-1 victory over France in Saint Etienne to keep the defending champions in the mix for automatic qualification to next summer’s European Championship.
With the top two in each League A group booking an automatic ticket to Switzerland, England – who have two group stage games remaining – find themselves two points behind their group-leading opponents and level on seven points with Sweden, who have the superior goal difference. Toone had the first real opportunity but rolled a weak effort at France keeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin. France broke immediately, Diani just off target under pressure from England captain Leah Williamson, who was treated for what appeared to be a cut to the knee for her efforts.
Amandine Henry wasted a chance to claw one back before the break, France coming close again when captain Wendie Renard headed a free-kick across goal to Marie-Antoinette Katoto who could not get the job done with her close-range header.
