Beth Mead bagged a hat-trick as England stormed into the quarter-finals of Women's Euro 2022 with a game to spare by hammering Norway 8-0.

Urged to be more ruthless following a narrow 1-0 win over Austria in their opening Group A fixture, the Lionesses went goal crazy at Brighton's Amex Stadium. 

The hosts broke the deadlock after 12 minutes when Georgia Stanway thumped home a penalty after Ellen White took a tumble in the box. 

Lauren Hemp made it two just four minutes later when Mead squared the ball to her for a tap-in, while White slotted home a third just before the half-hour mark. 

Mead got her second goal of the tournament with a fine header from Hemp's cross in the 34th minute and added another in the 38th courtesy of a dazzling solo effort. 

Sarina Wiegman's side were six goals to the good four minutes before the break when White converted a fine ball from Fran Kirby.

The Lionesses looked dangerous throughout and it came as little surprise when sub Alessia Russo headed home a Lucy Bronze cross to make it seven after 66 minutes. 

But England were not finished there — and neither was Mead, who completed her treble nine minutes from time.
