In six qualifying wins so far, England have scored an incredible 53 goals without reply.
The emphatic Group D victory follows on from the men's team winning 10-0 against San Marino earlier this month in a game where skipper Harry Kane struck four times.
Monday night's utterly one-sided affair eclipsed Belgium's 19-0 win over Armenia last week. Before tonight, the Lionesses' highest ever win was 13-0 against Hungary under Hope Powell back in 2005.
UEFA are reportedly looking at ways in which to make World Cup qualifying in order to avoid such a huge difference in quality between sides.
The 2023 Women's World Cup, hosted by Australia and New Zealand, has been expanded from 24 teams to 32.
