Beth Mead's hat-trick propelled England to a UEFA Women’s Euro record 8-0 rout of Norway in a ruthless display that sent the host nation into the quarterfinals with a game to spare. After the opener from Georgia Stanway's penalty, there was a double from Ellen White around Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo also finding the target in front of 28,847 fans in Brighton. After two straight wins, England completes Group A on Friday against Northern Ireland, who lost to Austria 2-0 in Monday's other game. Norway thrashed Northern Ireland 4-1 in their opening game but the two-time European champion was humbled against England even with a team featuring Ada Hegerberg, the all-time leading scorer in the Women's Champions League.
