England Beat Australia To Reach Women's World Cup Final Despite Sam Kerr Wondergoal

Toone fired the European champions in front in the 36th minute when she arrowed a fine shot into the top corner from 11 yards following slick build-up play between Hemp and Russo.

England had been good value for their lead but Australia hit back 18 minutes into the second half when captain Kerr scored one of the best goals of the tournament.

Kerr ran with the ball from inside her own half before smashing a shot high into the net from more than 25 yards.

This was Kerr's first goal of the tournament, coming in her first start since she overcame a calf injury that had seen her miss Australia's opening three fixtures.

Australia were only level for eight minutes before Hemp restored England's lead after she latched onto a long-range through ball from Millie Bright.

Hemp pressured Australia defender Ellie Carpenter into a mistake before providing a cool low finish past Mackenzie Arnold.

England then survived a late barrage of Australian pressure before sealing victory with an excellent goal from a counter-attack.

Highlights: Australia 1-3 England
