World Cup Gallery: England 2-1 Canada (Quarter-final)

She Kicks, issue 29, August 2015 p.26

England knock out the hosts 2-1 in front of a sell-out crowd, Jodie Taylor scoring on 11 minutes and Lucy Bronze on 14 before Christine Sinclair replied. Taylor describes a bit of luck as the ball dropped for her, and simply feeling elation and running. Mark Sampson calls it an amazing result in that atmosphere against an incredible Canada team, says he has never experienced a crowd like it and that it was tense on the sideline, crediting John Herdman’s side for making England fight for every ball. Siobhan Chamberlain, replacing Karen Bardsley to make her World Cup debut, says she took her time on the basis that they could not start without her. Bronze credits the scouts and Lee Kendall for the set-piece detail behind her header. Readers voted Taylor player of the match.
