England finished their Women's World Cup Group D matches in top spot and with a 100 per cent record after Ellen White's brace steered them to a 2-0 win against Japan in Nice.
The Lionesses, who had already qualified for the last 16 and needed to avoid defeat to win the group, went ahead just before the quarter-hour mark through White's cool finish following good work by Georgia Stanway.
White then slotted in her second, and third of the tournament, with six minutes of normal time remaining having been teed up by substitute Karen Carney.
