England Women ease to biggest win

Smith found the target three times in England's record-breaking win

The England women's team cruised to the biggest win in their history with a 13-0 demolition of Hungary in their World Cup qualifier.

Arsenal striker Kelly Smith hit a hat-trick, while Eni Aluko, Alex Scott and Fara Williams all scored twice.

Rachel Yankey, Jody Handley, Katie Champan and Jo Potter also got themselves on the scoresheet.

The result leaves England top of their five-nation group table following their earlier 4-1 win against Austria.

And national coach Hope Powell said: "The main thing going into this match was guarding against complacency among the players.

"We worked on going for early goals and, when that came off, it was good to see the girls maintaining their standards."

England's next opponents are Holland, who defeated group favourites France 1-0.
