England 5-1 Netherlands: Lionesses impress as they come from behind to beat Dutch
England came from behind for the first time under manager Sarina Wiegman to register an impressive victory over European champions the Netherlands.
Arsenal winger Mead added a fifth goal late on to confirm a resounding victory in a statement performance from the Lionesses in Leeds. Bronze then looped a cross - intended for Beth England - inside the far post to ensure the teams were level at the break. It was a taste of the exciting football England are capable of producing at the Euros and the supporters who chanted "we want five" after Hemp's goal were given what they asked for when Mead fired in another in the dying moments.
Wiegman admitted the missed penalty proved a gamechanger, with England taking the lead just a minute later. There was a party atmosphere at full-time as 19,365 fans celebrated with a rendition of 'Sweet Caroline', the waving flags and scarves a taste of what could come this summer.Ella Toone scored 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute at Elland Road
