Aggie Beever-Jones scored a hat-trick in just 33 minutes as England thrashed Portugal 6-0 in a Women's Nations League match at Wembley Stadium. The 21-year-old Chelsea forward's treble came in a scintillating display by the Lionesses, five weeks before they attempt to defend their European title at Euro 2025. Former England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley described the match as a "Friday night funfest," with the team playing with fluidity and enjoyment. Ex-England defender Lindsay Johnson called it a "vintage" England performance, and even manager Sarina Wiegman celebrated more than usual in the dugout. The win was a boost for England, who had been dealing with the shock retirement of goalkeeper Mary Earps earlier in the week.
