Ruthless’ Lionesses threaten Wembley record in thumping friendly win - England 8-0 China: Georgia Stanway scored a hat-trick as the Lionesses marked their return to Wembley with a big win

England fans could not have hoped for a more entertaining evening at Wembley Stadium - but with Sarina Wiegman resisting the urge to be more experimental, how much did she actually learn from it?

Georgia Stanway played a key role in the Lionesses' dominant 8-0 victory against China PR. She bagged herself a hat-trick, becoming the first female midfielder to score a hat-trick at Wembley. On top of her goalscoring heroics, she provided assists, notably connecting with Lauren Hemp for England's third goal.

Beth Mead scored twice in quick succession and Alessia Russo also found the net to help England defeat China 8-0 in a big victory at Wembley Stadium. Beth opened her account on the night after 12 minutes with a fine control and finish from Lucy Bronze's pass.

Georgia Stanway went home with the match ball on Saturday after bagging a hat-trick in England's record-breaking 8-0 win over China.

Lucy Bronze has said playing alongside the new generation of England players gives her "a lot of excitement" while also keeping her on her toes.

Ellie Roebuck has returned to Sarina Wiegman’s squad for the first time since 2023, having suffered a a left occipital infarct just six months after the World Cup.

Whether hearing the team news over the tannoy in the stadium or seeing the line-up graphics revealed on their television screens, there are likely to be many England fans who encounter some unfamiliar names when watching the Lionesses play their final two matches of 2025 over the course of this next week - and they can certainly be forgiven.
