Women's World Cup Final: USA 5 - Japan 2

The USA have become the first nation to win the Women's World Cup three times following a thrilling final against Japan.

Lauren Holiday volleyed home after Carli Lloyd had scored a brace in the opening five minutes.

Captain Lloyd completed the fastest hat-trick in Women's World Cup history with a wonder goal on 16 minutes.

Yuki Ogimi and a Julie Johnston own goal gave Japan a lifeline, but a Tobin Heath tap-in sealed it on 53 minutes.
