England produced a ruthless performance at home, beating Greece 5-0 to win 8-1 on aggregate and progress to round two of the Women's World Cup qualifying play-offs. After lacking a clinical edge in the first leg, the Lionesses were far more clinical in front of their own supporters, and the result was never in doubt.
The match also marked two more international debuts, with Lexi Potter and Freya Godfrey making their first appearances for the senior side. Their introductions added fresh options to the squad and offered a glimpse of the depth coach Sarina Wiegman has built.
The discussion on this episode of BBC Women's Football Weekly, hosted by Katie Smith, centred on tactical choices. Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis and BBC 5 Live commentator Vicki Sparks questioned whether Wiegman has become more flexible with her starting XI. Maya Le Tissier's standout performances at right-back also raised the question of whether she and Lucy Bronze can both start for the national team.
The programme also features interviews from the tunnel. Rob Schofield speaks with Alessia Russo, Grace Fisk and Sarina Wiegman for their reaction to the win and the progress made in the campaign.
