The losing run continued to Eileen Gleeson’s side at a rainy Carrow Road.
Emma Duffy Reports from Carrow Road, Norwich England 2 Republic of Ireland 1 A glimmer of positivity at the very end of a miserable night in Norwich.
England enjoyed their first home win of the campaign as they look to defend their European Championship title by qualifying directly. Ireland have the safety net of a play-off and, in one piece of good news, remain marginally in front for the race for the final seeded place after Poland’s 3-1 defeat to Austria earlier.
Gleeson rang the changes. She made five switches to the team that lost to Sweden last time; some enforced, others not. Katie McCabe was suspended and Kyra Carusa injured, but Louise Quinn dropping out was a football decision. Stanway and Jess Park ran the show as England played their opponents off the pitch early on, repeatedly targeting the space on Ireland’s left side.
They did tighten up in possession as the half wore on, however, and looked a lot more solid defensively. They gave England a little more to think about, yet the gulf in class remained. Ireland’s first corner resulting in a free out said it all.
