England 3-0 Ukraine: Disappointment for Lionesses as they cruise to victory but fall short of automatic qualification - with play-offs now the European champions' only route to Brazil 2027

England's Lionesses beat Ukraine 3-0 but the result was not enough to secure automatic qualification for the 2027 Brazil World Cup. Their fate had depended on Iceland taking points off Spain, following England's 4-0 defeat to Spain in Mallorca the previous weekend. As a result, the European champions must now navigate the play-offs to secure their place at Brazil 2027.
