Ella Toone sends defiant warning to world champions USA ahead of Lionesses showdown

Ella Toone has warned the USA they are coming to England's "favourite place" when they play at a sold-out Wembley next month.

The Lionesses will take on the world champions in a friendly after booking their place at next year's Women's World Cup on Saturday evening. Sarina Wiegman's side defeated Austria 2-0 in Wiener Neustadt to qualify for the tournament in Australia and New Zealand, just 34 days after winning the Euros at Wembley.

"We know how good the USA are and we want to compete against the best teams," said Toone. "I think now we have a target on our backs because we've won the Euros. So these games are really exciting and we can't wait to have all the fans back in the stadium again.
