The win was England’s first in a major competition since the 1966 World Cup and has been praised as a generational moment for women’s sport.

England and Arsenal legend Ian Wright said: “M&S Food have outdone themselves with this competition – what an opportunity for young footballers to train with their heroes.

"It’s a genuine money-can’t-buy experience. It’s really easy to enter, for every Eat Well product you buy, this equals one entry to the competition.
