Lucy Bronze headed in Georgia Stanway's cross to open the scoring in the 22nd minute, before Stanway herself doubled England's lead with a fine volley on the stroke of halftime.

Stanway's eighth international goal in five games put the gloss on a dominant display, with England boasting 31 shots to Iceland's one and a whopping 71% possession throughout.

England's attention now turns to a pair of crucial games against Spain, with the first encounter set for April at Wembley Stadium.

That fixture represents a rematch of the Euro 2025 and 2023 World Cup finals, with Spain boasting a star-studded lineup.

For England, the next fortnight provides a chance to build momentum ahead of those showdowns with the current world champions.
