Beth Mead continued to stamp on her disappointment at missing out on a place at the Olympics last summer by opening England’s account at the home Euros in a 1-0 defeat of Austria in front of a record crowd at Old Trafford.
Mead, who has said that her goalscoring form for club and country has been fuelled by the frustration of being left out of the Team GB squad for Tokyo, is the Lionesses’ top scorer under their new manager, Sarina Wiegman, who was recruited from tournament holders the Netherlands.
