  1. 'Don't have solutions right now' - Walshpublished at 22:04 BST

    FT: Spain 4-0 England

    England

    England's Keira Walsh speaking to ITV: "I just think there was a lot of areas we weren't good enough. Spain played incredibly well at home but I think there are a lot of things we could have done better.

    "I don't think we were good enough but they were very, very sharp so that made it a very difficult game for us.

    "It felt like they had bodies everywhere. It was very difficult to get out of our own box. I don't have solutions right now. Obviously we'll look back but right now the emotions are very high - it was a disappointing game.

    "We've still got a small chance to qualify. It's out of our hands. All we can do is control how we play the next game and hope Iceland do us a favour."

    Former England forward on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    As we have said multiple times on air tonight, England have performed poorly, yes, but you also have to give credit where credit is due. Spain have been near enough perfect tonight.

    The way that they have counter-pressed, the way that they have kept the ball and the way that they have moved it.

    England have come across a real top side tonight.

  4. How can England qualify?published at 21:56 BST

    FT: Spain 4-0 England

    So, if Spain win away at Iceland on Tuesday, then they will top the group and book their spot in Brazil.

    If this happens, then England will have to come through the play-offs to play in the World Cup next year.

  5. 'Individual moments' cost England but Spain 'brilliant'published at 21:54 BST

    FT: Spain 4-0 England

    Fran Kirby
    Former England forward on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I think in the first half, they struggled a lot in the build-up, technical and tactical areas but ultimately, Spain were just sharper.

    They looked sharper in every moment. They looked sharper in every duel.

    Whether it is a fatigue element with it being the end of the season, I don’t know, I don't think that’s an excuse, the Spanish girls play a long season as well. Spain just look sharper.

    They look more fluid and overall England will be disappointed because it was more individual moments that cost them, but Spain have been brilliant.

    I'm not really sure who beats Spain in that kind of form.

    Spain have handed England their biggest defeat under Sarina Wiegman.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:49 BST

    Spain 4-0 England

    An emphatic victory for Spain as England's World Cup qualification looks like it's going down the play-off route.

  9. Postpublished at 90+3 mins

    Spain 4-0 England

    There's a party atmosphere inside the stadium and you can't blame them.

    The world champions have put on a show tonight and it's been their rivals England who have been on the receiving end.

  10. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90+1 mins

    Spain 4-0 England

    I bet England can't wait for the final whistle here. It's been one to forget as three minutes of time is added on.

    Lucy Bronze does not have the legs/stamina anymore to play defence/winger/striker. Play one role because we will lose more games playing her based on nostalgia

    Michelle, Plymouth

    Time to blood some fresh players. England players look leggy and don’t look fit compared to Spain. Poor all round

    Charlie, Cotswolds

    In fairness Charlie, La Liga Feminin didn't finish until Sunday whereas the WSL ended nearly three weeks ago.

    A difference in sharpness was always likely.

    Claudia Pina whips in a really dangerous corner that flies past the far post. Looked like it was going in for a second.

    Spain 4-0 England

    Aitana Bonmati fancies getting in on the act but her near-post drive is palmed wide by Hannah Hampton.

    It’s a fantastic pass from Bonmati. She’s just come on the pitch and straight away she is looking forward. Claudia Pina finds herself one v one, cuts inside, and when she’s in those areas it’s only going to end up with one thing. A goal.

    Spain are punishing England here as they play a bit of keep ball.

    I think Lucia Corrales has been one of the best players on the pitch tonight.

    She’s been everywhere, so composed and has dealt with her one v one battles against Lucy Bronze and Lauren James. She’s had a fantastic game tonight.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 86 mins

    Spain 4-0 England

    Changes for both sides as Mariona Caldentey and Lucía Corrales make way for Clara Serrajordi and Olga Carmona.

    For England, Lotte Wubben-Moy and Lucy Bronze make way for Jess Carter and Niamh Charles.

    Lucy Bronze is OK, by the way.

    It’s always nice to see a player [Aitana Bonmati] return from injury. I don’t think it will be nice for the England players on the pitch to see her come on when you are behind a team like Spain.

    Mapi Leon smashes into the midriff of Lucy Bronze and she immediately waves for the physios.

    That looks like the definition of being winded.
