I was expecting Alessia Russo to come off. She doesn't get taken off, for Arsenal and for England. I would like to see her given a bit of a break from that.

I think the usual suspects will play those games (qualifiers).
There will be the odd changes with the likes of Chloe Kelly or Grace Clinton but I think it will be the usual suspects who play those matches.

England's Georgia Stanway speaking to ITV: "We were very good. It's nice to see lots of different goalscorers and people getting minutes and come away with a good win.
"I thought we put together some really good goals tonight. I am happy to get them two.
"It's the perfect time and opportunity to give the girls exposure to international level. It is good to see them get the minutes."
On Sarina Wiegman: "She makes it look easy. She makes coaching look very easy. She is an amazing coach to work under.
"It wasn't our hardest game but you play the team that is in front of you. We made them look very average tonight. We regroup for Ghana on Tuesday."

England manager Sarina Wiegman speaking to ITV: "Really nice. We want to be more ruthless and that's what we did today.
"I think we started really well and they played in a different shape so we had to adapt to that. They gave us too much time of the ball and then you see when we get that time we are really good. The connections are very good and there were some good goals in there."
On Georgia Stanway: "She was really sharp and she really wanted to show. She was very calm and played good."
On Lucia Kendall and Taylor Hinds: "I think they came on a bit late. I wanted to speed up the game and I think Lucia really understands the game. She came on well and she turns forward and picks up positions. Taylor is pretty comfortable but it was too short to give a real picture of it I think."
"We know we have a good team and there are players ready to play. There is a lot of competition and players coming in comfortable. You can tell that we can make changes and still keep levels up."

Pointless match if you're not going to let more fringe players get a game.

A dream debut for England goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse. China managed just 0.33 expected goals and two shots on target.

There is no way China should be that underprepared.
They should have been harder to beat.

England's Georgia Stanway speaking to ITV: "I am very happy. The most important thing was that we started fast today. We got a few goals in the opening minutes and that's game-changing.
"I am not known for scoring goals at the moment. I am happy with that and I am happy my family is here."
On her penalties: "I practice often. I have been on penalties for a while. It is just about practice.
"We knew we would have moments of dominating the ball and then it was about getting in behind early.
"Everyone turning out, we appreciate it. We hope for more moments like that."

I have enjoyed the ruthless nature of what I saw tonight.
There was no drop in quality when the other players came on to the pitch. Sarina Wiegman has had eyes on Kendall.
It's about seeing how these players deal with the environment and how they get on with their team-mates.

Georgia Stanway says her side are "very happy". No surprise after eight goals.
Stay tuned for all of the reaction.

I thought Georgia Stanway was very impressive. China capitulated and it became very flat and just a standard outing at the end of the day.
There were lots of positives and lots to look forward to going into that game against Ghana.

More changes for China as Wei Yao and Li Mengwen are replaced by Mengyu Shen and Lyu Latong.

A tame effort from China is well saved by Anna Moorhouse.
Jiali Tang has the ball on the edge of the area but her strike is straight at the goalkeeper.
Three minutes added at the end of the second half.

I was kind of hoping we would see Godfrey get on.
But I think the purpose of these camps is to see players and see how they cope with the intensity and the way of working. You can get a feel for the sort of person they are within the group.

Those 74,611 have been treated to England's record women's win at Wembley.
A long way off their record in general, though. That was the 20-0 against Latvia in Doncaster in 2021

74,611 in attendance at Wembley today. They have been entertained, that's for sure.
Georgia Stanway scored a hat-trick within 52 minutes at Wembley
At a glance
Goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse makes her debut in the absence of injured duo Hannah Hampton and Khiara Keating.
Georgia Stanway nets hat-trick, including a penalty, while Beth Mead scores twice.
Lauren Hemp, Ella Toone and Alessia Russo also get on the scoresheet.
Georgia Stanway scored a hat-trick as England's final game at Wembley Stadium in 2025 ended with a devastating 8-0 win over China.
Sarina Wiegman's side were at their attacking best as a disappointing Chinese side were completely overrun in front of a sell-out crowd.
The Lionesses were playing in the third of four friendly matches to mark their "homecoming" celebrations at the end of the year, after winning Euro 2025.
There was nothing friendly about their performance though as they were ruthless in their display and gave China very little opportunity to enjoy themselves.
Beth Mead scored twice in as many minutes early on to put England in control, before Lauren Hemp made it 3-0 in the 16th minute.
Stanway's three goals followed, including one from the penalty spot and one early into the second half.
Ella Toone and Alessia Russo also got on the scoresheet to cap off an impressive display by England's experienced starters.
They will hope for more of the same against Ghana on Tuesday in their final match of the year, albeit perhaps with more of an opportunity to test themselves.
There was a celebratory feel around Wembley before kick-off with it being the final match of the year at the national stadium - and the Euro 2025 trophy was once again showcased.
Fran Kirby, who recently retired from international football, was awarded a framed shirt to celebrate her brilliant England career, which included 77 appearances and a European title in 2022.
But rather than it being a look forward to 2026, there were plenty of familiar faces in Wiegman's starting XI and England did not waste any time in stamping their authority.
Mead, who has continued to reward Wiegman's trust, scored twice in as many minutes, linking up with Lucy Bronze before being teed up by Toone at the back post.
It was Hemp's turn next and she couldn't miss when Stanway curled the ball perfectly into her path inside the six-yard area.
England were 4-0 up before half an hour was played, having enjoyed 78% possession and five shots on target to China's zero, and it got worse for the opposition when Stanway completed her hat-trick early in the second half.
Wiegman introduced fresh blood from the bench, including second caps for midfielder Lucia Kendall and defender Taylor Hinds, before Toone and Russo completed the goalscoring.
All in all, it was a positive evening for Wiegman and 30-year-old goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse, making her debut in the absence of injured duo Hannah Hampton and Khiara Keating.
Wiegman was forced into changes at the back due to injuries but Maya Le Tissier started her third successive match, looking comfortable at centre-back, while Niamh Charles returned on the left.
But it was perhaps a missed opportunity to rotate in midfield and up front, and when England went into the half-time break 5-0 up, it was hard to see just what Wiegman had learned that was new about her side.
China, Asian Cup winners, were hugely disappointing on the night and fortune wasn't on their side either when the video assistant referee prompted official Alina Pesu to review England's penalty appeal late in the first half and rewarded a spot-kick for handball afterwards.
This was not the test England would have hoped for but it was still a different opposition to the European competition they have faced in the past few years.
England are at St Mary's Stadium to welcome Ghana in their next friendly match on Tuesday, 2 December (19:00 GMT).
China travel to Spain on the same day where they will take on Scotland, who are playing back-to-back matches at Estadio Municipal de Chapin during a training camp. It's a 18:00 GMT kick-off on Tuesday.
