Just six minutes later, she received a fantastic through ball from Kiera Walsh before going one-on-one with Merle Frohms in goal.

The Manchester United star then managed to chip the ball over the goalkeeper in spectacular style, breaking the deadlock and giving England a 1-0 lead.

England got off to a positive start with Ellen White's early strike flying inches over the crossbar.

But, Germany also looked threatening in stages with Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps being called into action on more than one occasion.

The Germans were hit with bad news ahead of the game, with captain Alexandra Popp having to withdraw from the squad due to a muscular injury.

The striker is currently level with England winger Beth Mead in the race for the golden boot, with both players on six goals.

Popp was replaced by Lea Schuller just minutes before kick-off.

England and Germany met in the final of Euro2009, where the Germans earned a 6-2 victory.
