The Manchester United midfielder told the latest episode of Lionesses Down Under: “We got back quite late. We had some chips and gravy.”

Asked to describe the bus ride after the match, Toone said: “The vibe was really good — we were all singing.”

But not everyone was as energetic after a hard fought semi-final.

Teammate Jess Carter, 25, said: “I just don’t know how everyone had the energy. I had my headphones in.”

Toone’s latest strike made her the first England player to score in a quarter-final, semi-final and final of major international tournaments.

She said: “It’s not a bad stat that, is it.

“One that will stay with me for life.”

Wednesday night’s semi-final at Stadium Australia in Sydney was played in front of a sellout 75,784 crowd.

According to Australian football news outlet KEEPUP the match was the most watched TV event in Australian history.

More than 11million - 42 per cent of the country - reportedly tuned in on Channel 7.
