Wiegman living in a 'fairytale' as England reach final

Sydney: England head coach Sarina Wiegman said she felt she was living in a "fairytale" after her team advanced to the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 final with a 3-1 win over Australia in Sydney.

Wednesday's semi-final victory saw Wiegman become the first coach to guide two different countries to a Women's World Cup final, after she took her native Netherlands to the 2019 showpiece match, where they were defeated by the United States.
 
It also left reigning European champions England, who face fellow first-time Women's World Cup finalists Spain in Sunday's title decider in Sydney, on course for a notable double.

Sam Kerr canceled out Ella Toone’s first half opener after the break but Gustavsson’s charges couldn’t contain England, who scored twice to seal the semi-final win in front of a sold-out Stadium Australia.
