Lauren James says her stunning World Cup display is 'what dreams are made of' - after scoring twice and grabbing three assists in Lionesses' 6-1 rout of China

England star Lauren James said her performance in the 6-1 World Cup romp over China was 'what dreams are made of' as they advanced to the knockout stage.

Playing in the number 10 role, the Chelsea player scored twice and produced three assists, while also having a goal disallowed, as the Lionesses finished top of Group D in style to set up a last-16 tie with Nigeria.

James, who also scored against Denmark, has been the standout player for Sarina Wiegman's side and enjoyed her evening in Adelaide.
