England vs France LIVE: Euro 2025 qualifier result and reaction as Katoto goal gives visitors crucial win

83 mins: De Almeida chips a pass over the top of the England defence but Diani is slightly offside as she makes her dart in behind. France are in control of this game, England need to create something late in this game.

80 mins: Fran Kirby and Chloe Kelly are met with loud rounds of applause as they come onto the pitch for England. Beth Mead and Georgia Stanway are the two players replaced.

Can the substitutes have the deserved impact for Sarina Wiegman?

77 mins: Time is ticking away from England. France are maintain this lead well enough and defending their own box with relative comfort.

74 mins: Katoto, who could possibly have won this game for France, fouls Stanway inside England’s half. The Lionesses work the ball out to the right and try a threaded pass in behind.

It’s too heavy and Russo has no chance to get to the ball.

71 mins: England need a response. Will they find another level now?

They work is nicely over to Hemp on the left and she drives a cross into the middle of the box. Mead get her head on the end of the pass but loops her effort wide of the nearest post.

68 mins: Disaster for England!

It’s another set piece that England fail to properly deal with. The second ball comes into the box with Russo nodding it to the edge of the box.

England are slow to get out and Diani nods the ball over to Katoto. She shoots on the swivel and nestles the ball into the far bottom corner.

66 mins: Nice work from England. Slick passing sees them get the ball to Georgia Stanway in the box. The opportunity to shoot is there for her but she passes out to Lucy Bronze instead.

Bronze lifts in a cross looking for Alessia Russo but Pauline Peyraud-Magnin leaps for the ball and plucks it out of the air.

63 mins: Beth Mead is on corner taking duties for England and curls in the set piece. She can’t find a teammate but Lucy Bronze manages to come away with the ball and keep possession for the Lionesses.

60 mins: An hour played at St. James’ Park. Sweden are beating the Republic of Ireland in the other group match of the night meaning that if things remain as they are then England and France will still stay above them in the table.

A loss for England though would drop them to third.

57 mins: It’s a lot better from England. They look more composed and in control especially when passing around the back between Leah Williamson and Millie Bright.

Bright lifts a long pass over to Georgia Stanway on the right wing and the midfielder wins a throw in.
