David Beckham and his seven-year-old daughter Harper were at the Oceane stadium in Le Havre, northwest France, to watch the quarter-final tie as Phil Neville's team took an early lead.
David and Harper Beckham were among the crowd
England's first goal was the fastest of the tournament so far
England showed no ill-effects from their heated clash with Cameroon in the previous round, as Scott's shot hit the back of the net in the third minute - the fastest goal of the tournament so far.
White, England's all-time top scorer at the Women's World Cup, then followed up with the Lionesses' second goal five minutes before half-time.
Bronze scored England's third with a powerful strike from the edge of the box in the second half, ensuring a late penalty miss by Nikita Parris could not stop the team progressing in the tournament.
England will now face either World Cup hosts France or tournament favourites USA for a place in the final.
