England take a two-goal lead into the second leg of their Women's World Cup qualifying play-off against Greece on Tuesday after winning the first leg 3-1.
Despite dominating with 74% possession, 26 shots, 58 touches in the opposition box, and 210 passes in the final third, the Lionesses only netted three goals and conceded in the second half, while Greece also hit the bar with a powerful strike.
England have performed well in World Cup qualifying this year but have not won with ease, edging past Iceland and Spain and under-firing against Greece.
The team's lack of ruthlessness in front of goal has been a recurring theme since 2023, when they finished runners-up to Spain in the World Cup, raising questions about whether they need to address their struggle to make the most of their chances.
