England Women 0 – 0 USA Women

England were held to an entertaining goalless draw with Olympic champions USA at Wembley as they ramp up preparations for next summer’s Euros title defence.

The Lionesses were on the back foot for the majority of the game but reduced their hosts to half chances as Rose Lavelle and Lindsey Horan, among others, tested Mary Earps, but never at full stretch.

What will have impressed Sarina Wiegman most was England’s ability to stay defensively resolute when faced with the pace and athleticism of the four-time World Cup winners, who remain unbeaten under Emma Hayes.

Their work at the opposite end wasn’t quite as assured or fluid as it’s been in the past, but Wiegman will take solace from a commendable shutout, particularly after conceding four against Germany on a punishing night in late October.
