In the prelude to the European Championship, in a preparation match, England thrashed the Netherlands. Beth Mead has scored two of five goals, bringing her total to 14 of hers for the England squad in 2021/22, a record that is much more than a mere number. With 14 goals for the English in a single season, the striker surpassed Jimmy Greaves’ 13 in 1960/61 and became the team’s top scorer in a single season.
In the European Championship, precisely in England, Beth Mead continues without disappointing. The Arsenal player scored the first goal of the competition, an extraordinary goal against goalkeeper Zinsberger that was enough to beat Austria in the opening match, and this Monday signed a brutal hat trick who helped humiliate Norway. The English thrashed the Norwegians – which includes Ada Hegerberg, former Ballon d’Or and six-time European champion with Lyon – 8-0, securing qualification for the quarter-finals and Mead’s three goals were halfway through the unlikely outcome.
