Beever-Jones Steals the Show as Lionesses Thrash Portugal 6-0
Wow, what a night at Wembley! If you’re an England fan, you couldn’t have asked for a better performance than the Lionesses delivered in their 6-0 demolition of Portugal. And let me tell you—it wasn’t just a win, it was a statement.
With all the off-pitch noise following the unexpected retirement of Mary Earps, many were wondering how the team would cope without their inspirational goalkeeper. But the response? Utter dominance. Chelsea’s Hannah Hampton stepped up as the newly anointed number one, but she barely had to get her gloves dirty. That’s how commanding England were.

The spotlight, though, wasn’t on the net—it was up front. Aggie Beever-Jones absolutely lit up Wembley with a sensational first-half hat-trick. Just 21 years old and already making history, Beever-Jones became only the second woman to net a treble for England at Wembley. And she did it in just 33 minutes. Quick feet, composure, clinical finishing—she had it all.
From the moment the whistle blew, you could feel the energy. Lucy Bronze nodded in the second goal, Beth Mead made it four, and Chloe Kelly capped it off with the sixth in the second half. Portugal simply had no answers. They were completely overwhelmed, and England—true to Sarina Wiegman’s pre-game words—looked like a “new” squad with a “vintage” touch.
There was fluidity, joy, and purpose in every move the Lionesses made. Former England keeper Karen Bardsley couldn’t stop raving about the display, calling it “vintage England” and even saying she was running out of eraser rubber changing goal tally marks. You could see it in the players’ faces too—smiles, celebration, and a sense that the storm had passed.
And how about Beever-Jones’ humility after the match? She celebrated with her family and walked away with the signed match ball, grateful for the moment and focused on the future. Her quote says it all: “I just hope I’m giving the right people the right headaches.” With Euro 2025 just weeks away, she's making herself impossible to ignore.
Let’s not forget, this was also a vital Nations League tie. England now sit just two points behind Spain in League A Group 3, setting up a mouthwatering final clash between the two giants. But for now, the message is loud and clear—the Lionesses are back, and they mean business.
