Bronze and Stanway seal 2-0 win as England Women beat Iceland in World Cup qualifier
Lucy Bronze scores and Georgia Stanway adds a late goal as England Women secure back-to-back World Cup qualifier wins at the City Ground.
England Women sealed a 2-0 victory over Iceland in a World Cup qualifier at the City Ground. Lucy Bronze opened the scoring with a well-timed header from a corner, and Georgia Stanway finished late to seal the win.
Bronze's 145th cap takes her to third on the Lionesses' all-time appearances list, underscoring her ongoing influence as England push for top spot in their group.

With momentum building, England controlled much of the game, kept possession high, and created several scoring chances, signaling confidence ahead of tougher fixtures in the remaining qualifiers.
