England star Lucy Bronze has amusingly revealed Sarina Wiegman told her to 'stop jumping' following her side's win over Australia on Wednesday.
The European champions made the final of the Women's World Cup following goals from Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo.
England players were jubilant at the final whistle, jumping up and down as they celebrated their stunning triumph at the home of the enemy.
And Bronze, speaking after the game, revealed Wiegman told her off for jumping too much.

"She just spoke a bit about the game today, she knew the crowd was going to be a big thing and we could control the game and win the game the way we wanted to, we did all those things, and how proud she was of us," she said when asked what Wiegman said following her win.
"We started jumping up and celebrating - she grabbed me and said, 'stop jumping! You need to get ready for the next game, let the kids do it. You stand still'."
Bronze was emotional after England's win, admitting playing in a World Cup final had always been her dream.
The Barcelona star continued: "The one thing I've always wanted to do is get to a World Cup final.
"After two times of such disappointment, I can't believe it.
"We played how we wanted to, we were determined, resilient.
"We knew the crowd would be crazy and we talked about silencing them and at the end we did that.
"We all dreamed of being in the final, all our family and friends have booked to stay here until then because they all believed in us.
"To have everybody here and all that support is unbelievable."
England are now due to battle Spain in the final on Sunday.
La Roja made it to that stage on Tuesday, beating Sweden 2-1 following a late goal from Olga Carmona.
England, unlike Spain, have won all of their matches at the competition so far.
And Wiegman hailed the Lionesses for being ruthless as they put Australia to the sword.
"We achieved the final! Unbelievable, it feels like we won the whole thing but we didn't," she said.
"An away game at this incredible stadium, it was a hard game but again, we found a way to win.
"We scored three goals, in this team there is ruthlessness, up front and defence.
"We really want to win. We stick together and we stick to the plan and it worked again."
On Australia, she added: "They've done an incredible job, really grew into the tournament.
"They had some setbacks too and they had to win that last group stage game.
