England squad announcement live: Lionesses team for Women’s Euros to be named after Millie Bright withdraws
@Source: independent.co.uk
You can only ride your luck for so long. If you are up against the best, if you are firmly on the back foot, then eventually you are going to get punished.
That was the case for England against Spain. They faced constant aggression, were often penned back in their own half, struggled to go forwards, and, after Claudia Pina came off the bench and turned the tide for the hosts, departed Barcelona with a 2-1 defeat and having missed out on a chance to top their Nations League group.
Before Pina's double, England had benefitted from a handful of refereeing decisions, a well-taken Alessia Russo opener and the hosts' lack of final-third ruthlessness, but their performance was not one deserving of a victory. They tried to cling on, but doing so was an impossible test.
