Lauren Hemp then added to that tally with a brace of headers, before Michela Cambiaghi pulled one back for Italy in first-half stoppage time. Toone then get in on the action before Daly - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lauren-james-rachel-daly-england-austria-italy-lionesses-sarina-wiegman-explains-absences/bltdf94764575b63dab" target="_blank">who was on the bench initially</a> - rounded out the scoring with 11 minutes remaining, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-women-player-ratings-italy-lauren-hemp-ella-toone-lionesses/blt091450594cbbe580" target="_blank">securing another convincing Lionesses victory</a>.</p>
