Dom: The lionesses are so so so good. Men's team take note. This is how you beat teams whilst entertaining the nation!

This is an unbelievable team that’s being well coached and full of confidence. I can feel the potential of this England team. They’re putting on a show that I haven’t seen.

Former England and Arsenal defender on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One

England need to keep going in the second half. They need to keep pressurising Maria Thorisdottir because her head is down. England will get more goals from that.

In just one half of football England equalled the record for most goals scored by a single team at the Uefa European Women's Championship.

It matches England's 6-2 loss to Germany in the 2009 final and England's 6-0 win over Scotland in a group stage match in 2017.

That 6-0 win was the biggest margin of victory in the tournaments history before tonight.

Jonas Eidevall
Arsenal manager on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One

I’m astonished that Norway didn’t change anything. England played them to pieces and the coach looked paralysed. Don’t take anything away from Beth Mead. It’s the best performance of a wide player at this tournament – and there have been plenty.

Matty Nixon: 2 goals and an assist in a game and a half for Whitby’s Beth Mead

Richard Cohen: When someone asked me for a prediction and I said "well the French were 5-0 up by halftime yesterday..." I thought I was being a touch optimistic...

Chris Mitchell: What a first half. Sensational stuff. She won’t get the headlines but love the way Fran Kirby is going about her work. Really hope she gets the goal her hard work and performance deserve.

If you've foolishly missed that first half, here are some of the goals...

So, the biggest ever margin of victory in a Euros or World Cup is USA beating Thailand 13-0 in 2019. The biggest Euros winning margin? England 6-0 Scotland in 2017.

We thought this game might have finished in a draw.

That was sensational. I don't think anyone expected that scoreline at half time.

Norway look completely shell-shocked. They were encouraged heavily down the tunnel by the players and staff in the dugout.

England, understandably, were absolutely delighted. Beth Mead was high-fiving everyone, while Millie Bright was following up shouting "let's go" to her team-mates who had formed a line to applaud the starting XI.

Unless Norway produce an unthinkable miracle, England are flying into the knockout stages as group winners in tournament-favourites fashion.

Stevo: Wow. Just like watching the Seagulls beat Man U a couple of months back...plus a few more goals.

Ian Wright
Former Arsenal striker on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One

England needed to score early so they could really force the issue. Norway haven't had a chance. England have closed down everything and been magnificent.

Mark Burt: This performance will reverberate around the football world. England are a sublimely elegant wrecking ball. Wow!!!!

Platinum Sports: Wow it’s a rout and what a half for England! Breathtaking stuff from the host nation. fantastic first half performance from the Lionesses

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One

It's only natural for Norway's body language to drop, but I haven't seen that from them. They've just been ripped apart by incisive England passing.

Wanna hazard a guess what kind of mood Ian Wright is in? "On smoke" he yells in the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One studio.

Pretty much everyone in this ground are on their feet. Beth Mead punches the air and high fives the England subs as she heads off. What a half of football from England. Simply breathtaking.

Yeah, that'll do.
