It’s Italy who England will face in the last four, after the dark horses knocked out Norway late on Wednesday.

Cristiana Girelli scored a 90th-minute winner, her second goal of a superb double, as Italy beat Norway 2-1 to book their spot in the semi-finals at the Women’s Euros for the first time since 1997.

Hannah Hampton is asked what emotions she’s feeling and says, “Right now I don’t know, it’s just all gone so quick, that last little bit in the penalty shooutout. We’re very happy obviously, you can see all the celebrations, cheering with the fans, they were behind us the whole game. Even when we were 2-0 down they knew we could bring this back and don’t ever write us off.

“Stressful watching, stressful playing in, every single time I saved one I was thinking please just put in it so we have a bit of a cushion, and their keeper just went and saved the next. I was thinking ‘oh goodness, here we go’. I thought I was better with one nostril than when I was completely fine! Just happy and relieved now.”

She adds that she’s fine after that injury scare. The nosebleeds are a common issue, she says, and the doctor was going “oh no, not again” when she required treatment.

She thanks the fans for their support in the shootout: “It helps you get that little bit of an edge over them and push a little extra in each dive.”

Despite that being a pretty poor shootout, England’s 100% winning record in spot-kicks under Wiegman continues.

Hampton and Bronze crucial in that one.

From 2-0 up, and by far the better side for the majority of this match, Sweden are sent out of the tournament.

Holmberg steps up – and blasts over the bar!

Bronze steps up… and rifles the roof of the net!

Incredible. Hampton dives to her right and just about gets to Jakobsson’s strike.

Sudden death. Clinton sends her spot-kick into the arms of Falk, very close to the post. Not a confident penalty.

Hampton must save this next one.
