World Cup: How England players rated in win over Colombia

Leicy Santos fired the South Americans in front on 44 minutes, but Lauren Hemp levelled in first-half stoppage time.

And Alessia Russo netted a 63rd-minute winner for the Lionesses, who will meet co-hosts Australia in the last four.

Here’s how the Press Association rated Sarina Wiegman’s players.

MARY EARPS 5/10

Whether it was intended as a cross or a shot, Earps will be disappointed to have been beaten by the looping effort from Leicy Santos which gave Colombia the lead. Made one solid save from Lorena Bedoya’s long-range effort.

JESS CARTER 7/10

Initially struggled to deal with the pace of Linda Caicedo but adjusted well and limited the threat of the Real Madrid star.

MILLIE BRIGHT 7/10

As dependable as ever, winning almost everything in the air and making a couple of key blocks as Colombia pushed for an equaliser.

ALEX GREENWOOD 8/10

Another assured performance at the back, highlighted by a vital interception as Mayra Ramirez looked set to have a clear sight of goal.

LUCY BRONZE 7/10

Always a willing outlet on the right and an aerial threat in the penalty area. Combined well with Carter to stifle Caicedo.

GEORGIA STANWAY 6/10

Set up Russo for England’s second goal, albeit with a bit of assistance from Daniela Arias, but was otherwise a somewhat peripheral figure.

KEIRA WALSH 6/10

Still looked some way short of her best in her second match back from injury but helped protect the defence well in the latter stages.

RACHEL DALY 6/10

Guilty of allowing Santos too much time and space to give Colombia the lead but responded well and had two headers on target.

ELLA TOONE 5/10

Replaced the suspended Lauren James but struggled to make much of an impact on the contest.

ALESSIA RUSSO 8/10

Reacted quickly when Catalina Perez inexplicably spilled the ball to help set up Hemp for the equaliser and drilled a superb finish into the bottom corner to give England the lead.

LAUREN HEMP 7/10

Pounced on a blunder from Colombia’s goalkeeper to stab in the equaliser in first-half stoppage time and turned in a tireless display.

CHLOE KELLY (for Russo, 84) 5/10

The Euro 2022 final match-winner had little opportunity to impress.

BETHANY ENGLAND (for Hemp, 90+3) 5/10

Saw almost nothing of the ball as England closed the game out.
