GB women win World League Semi-final by defeating China

Great Britain's women's hockey team win the World League Semi-final by beating China 2-0 thanks to goals from Hollie Webb and Alex Danson in Valencia.

Great Britain's women's hockey team have defeated China 2-0 to secure victory in the World League Semi-final.

Hollie Webb scored from a penalty corner, while Alex Danson deflected captain Kate Richardson-Walsh's shot into the net to guide Team GB to the gold medal in Valencia.

Richardson-Walsh told BBC Sport: "It was an amazing performance in this tournament.

"We said at the beginning that we'd take one game at a time and build momentum, and that's what we've done.

"It wasn't our most stellar performance today but we dug in and took our chances when they came. I've played with Alex a long time and it's really sweet to link up and see that corner come off."

The team already secured their place in the 2016 Olympics with victory over Germany on Saturday.
