More than six million fans tuned in to watch England's opening World Cup win over Scotland.

Fran Kirby says the record-breaking television viewing figure for England’s World Cup victory over Scotland on Sunday shows that those who dismiss the women’s game are “a minority”.

The 2-1 win in Nice was the UK’s most watched women’s football match of all time, according to the BBC, attracting a peak of 6.1million watching on television, and a 37.8 per cent share of the available audience.

England forward Kirby said: “I think we’re always fighting these people who are saying stuff but it just shows that it is a minority and there are many people out there that want us to do well.
