Jill Scott opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a powerful header from Demi Stokes' cross and Ellen White doubled the Lionesses' lead after 28 minutes as she hooked home from close range. Steph Houghton was inches away from adding a third with a neat header, before Chelsea's Gemma Davison did extend the lead as she took advantage of a defensive error to calmly round the goalkeeper and slot home her first international goal.
Davison's second goal in an England shirt arrived shortly after the restart when she turned in a low cross from Stokes at the far post. Karen Carney, who scored a hat-trick in Saturday's clash, saw a shot rebound to Davison off the keeper but the Blues winger was denied a treble of her own as the ball went in off Nevena Damjanovic.
The goals continued to flow as substitute Nikita Parris glanced in a sixth from Carney's cross, and after the Manchester City striker had seen another header tipped over the crossbar she smashed home a superb seventh from distance to cap another impressive display. The Lionesses entertain Estonia in September before travelling to Belgium for what could be the group decider.
