Women’s World Cup roundup: Lauren James lifts England over China

AUSTRALIA, (Reuters): Lauren James scored two goals and assisted on three others to lead England into the Round of 16 of the FIFA Women’s World Cup with a 6-1 shellacking of China on Tuesday in Adelaide, Australia.

China’s Shuang Wang scored the only goal in defeat. China failed to advance from the group stage for the first time in a Women’s World Cup.

With England (3-0-0, nine points) dealing with an injury to midfielder Keira Walsh (knee), the 21-year-old James has emerged as the nation’s rising star. A video review before halftime took away a goal or James would’ve bagged a hat trick against China (1-2-0, three points).
