England are making a habit of coming good in the second half and they are in the habit of winning.

They ended their final warm-up game for Euro 2022 with a 4-0 win over Switzerland, with all of the goals coming after the break. It has been a theme of their pre-tournament matches - with previous victories over Belgium and the Netherlands also coming in the second 45 minutes.

It says a lot that England can turn up the heat when their opponents tire, but against better teams, which they will face in this summer’s tournament, they cannot afford to put in the same first half performances we have seen in the last two weeks.

England finally made the breakthrough in the second-half with Alessia Russo's header
