England 4-2-3-1
Karen Bardsley Distribution went unpunished thanks to VAR’s intervention. Otherwise authoritative with routine saves. 7/10
Lucy Bronze Assured excellence. Consistently ambitious running up the right flank plus an assist. 8
Steph Houghton The captain was inspired to open the scoring with a precisely steered indirect free-kick. 7
Millie Bright At times a commanding presence at centre back alongside Houghton but guilty of some sloppy passes. 6
Alex Greenwood The defender swept in England’s third goal from a set piece, her high point in the game. 7
Jill Scott Needed to be combative in the heart of midfield. An important presence on her 140th cap. 7
Keira Walsh Not really eye-catching but tactical diligence important in allowing Scott more freedom. 6
Nikita Parris Back in the team, after sitting out the final group match, with an understated performance. 6
Fran Kirby Nimble conductor of the attack returned, with smart passes and imagination to make a difference. 7
Toni Duggan Always hunting space, she instigated Greenwood’s goal from a corner routine. 7
Ellen White A player Phil Neville describes as undroppable led the line and slotted England’s second. 7
Subs: Jodie Taylor (for White 64) 6; Lucy Staniforth (for Scott 78) 6; Leah Williamson (for Parris 84) 6.
Cameroon 4-5-1
Annette Ndom Bemused to be punished for picking up a back pass, and struggled to get close to any of England’s goals. 5/10
Yvonne Leuko Booked early for an elbow to the face on Parris. Summed up the heightened emotion that did not do Cameroon any favours. 5
Augustine Ejangue Head in hands to give away a free-kick with a loose touch of a back pass which offered England the breakthrough. 6
Estelle Johnson Cameroon’s most accomplished defender but it was too big an ask to marshall all the problems they faced. 7
Aurelle Awona A tough afternoon as she endeavoured to keep track of the flank containing Bronze and Parris. 6
Ajara Nchout Tearful on the pitch as her goal – a fine finish - was disallowed for a marginal offside in the buildup. 7
Michaela Abam Some clever touches and powerful surges from midfield as Cameroon tried to fight back. 6
Raissa Feudjio In the second minute showed a willingness to disrupt with a harmless if unsubtle body check. 6
Jeannette Yango Strained to make a positive impact and let a match of this importance pass her by. 6
Gabrielle Onguéné The golden talent of this Cameroon team, moments of flair and composure showed her quality. 7
Gaëlle Enganamouit Led the line and waited for support, had to work hard to stretch the England defence. 6
Subs: Alexandra Takounda (for Enganamouit 53) 6; Ysis Sonkeng (for Ejangue 64) 6; Ninon Abena (for Abam 68) 6.
