The Young Lionesses beat Greece 2-0 on Wednesday afternoon in Hungary to complete their Elite Round group campaign with three straight victories. As in their initial qualifying group in September when they also won all three of their matches, England did not concede a goal.

Le Tissier captained the side from centre-back in all six matches, playing every minute.

The finals will be held from 5-17 May, with eight nations competing for the title. The draw will be made on 5 April.
