Suzanne Wrack was at Pride Park and I leave you with her match report. And stay tuned for some reaction from an Australia point of view from Joey Lynch later in the day.

Thanks for tuning in with me and join us tomorrow for live updates from the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Have to agree with Wiegman that the red card (though deserved) makes it difficult to assess how much England have improved but they started the match much better than they have in previous games. Kendall, who won player of the match, played the full 90 and impressed on her debut. For the first time in a while, England looked assured in midfield and Walsh was not left to fend on her own during transitions. Some regular starters should be concerned the Aston Villa player may displace them.

As for Australia, the red card, of course, did Montemurro no favours in assessing where his squad is at before next year’s Asian Cup. One thing is for sure, though. The Matildas need to find some goalscoring threats. Kerr is still clearly finding her full form after such a lengthy period out and they cannot continue to rely on the 32-year-old. They play back-to-back games against New Zealand before they kick off their home Asian Games against the Philippines.
