Sarina Wiegman’s entire team impressed in the European Championship semifinals, but Alessia Russo was the most talked about woman of the night thanks to her goals. He helped England in unrivaled fashion with the third goal in a 4-0 win over Sweden.

Substitute Russo received the ball after 68 minutes in the Swedish penalty area and was able to shoot freely. However, the Manchester United striker shot straight at goal Rut Hedvig Lindahl. On the rebound he won the ball again and then made it 3-0 on an unchallenged backheel.

‘I need to do something about this’
“I haven’t seen the footage yet,” Russo said afterward BBC. “I just remember missing a big chance and thinking ‘I have to do something about this’. I just wanted to get the ball in the net as quickly as possible. It was great. I don’t know exactly what happened or what inspired me to try.”

‘reduce’
“He’s not Messi, he’s Lessi after what he showed,” former international Ian Wright said at the event BBC. Analysts refer to the England team’s nickname, Lioness. “No matter what happened in the final, this team has inspired a lot of people.”

This year’s goal?
British media is naturally lyrical and Daily mail even spoke of goal of the year and ‘one of the most beautiful goals you’ll ever see in the top league’.
