England beats Spain in Wembley thriller

The win boosts England's chances of automatic qualification for the 2027 tournament in Brazil and maintains their perfect record in the current qualifying campaign.

Sarina Wiegman's side relied on a disciplined defensive performance to hold off a late surge from Spain, with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton making several critical saves.

The match also marked an emotional return for Mary Earps, who received a warm reception from the home crowd despite recent retirement rumors.

England now sits at the top of their group with three fixtures remaining in the qualifying cycle.
