England have booked their place in the semi-finals of the Women's Euros after knocking out Sweden.

The Lionesses won 3-2 on penalties at Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich, Switzerland, after clawing their way back into the game after being 2-0 down at half-time.

It was Lucy Bronze who delivered the first England goal, assisted by substitute Chloe Kelly. Moments later, Michelle Agyemang followed suit, bringing the score level before going into extra-time in the quarter-final match.

They now face Italy in Geneva for a place in the finals.

Pressure was on the defending champions after they won the tournament in 2022.
