Alessia Russo admitted England needed to be "more clinical" after they were beaten by Australia at Brentford.
The Lionesses tasted defeat for the first time in two years, and for the first time ever under Sarina Wiegman, against the World Cup co-hosts after goals from Sam Kerr and Charlie Grant. Russo went close twice in the first half but was often left isolated by a disciplined defensive display from the Matildas.
The Man Utd forward appears to now be Wiegman's first choice number nine, following the retirement of Ellen White, preferred to Rachel Daly for the third international in-a-row. After the defeat Russo was honest in her assessment of the Lionesses performance and made it clear they recognise where they need to improve.
