England have reached the semi-finals of the U20 Women’s World Cup for the first time after defeating Netherlands 2-1 in Vannes.
Victoria Pelova put the Dutch ahead with a fine finish but Georgia Stanway hit two in the first half to seal their place in the last four.
Mo Marley’s side will now face either Germany or Japan for a place in next Friday’s showpiece.
Netherlands enjoyed more of the ball early on in France and broke the deadlock after just 12 minutes.
A long ball forward by Danique Ypema sailed into the England box. Megan Finnigan watched it all the way and headed clear, but the ball fell to the unmarked Pelova who coolly side-footed the loose ball into the far corner from 18 yards.
