Manchester United and England supporters were sent wild by Ella Toone and Georgia Stanway after those two saved the day for England during their gripping Euro 2022 showdown against Spain at the Amex Stadium.
England went goal crazy on a previous visit to the south coast — when Manchester City and United players inspired them to run riot and win 8-0 over Norway in the group stages — but given what was at stake this game was understandably a little more measured in its style, although the end result was again in the Lionesses' favour.
Mary Earps had to be on alert to keep Spain out early doors, though, while City striker Ellen White flicked a header wide as the Lionesses carved out their first opportunity. However, clear chances proved to be few and far between during the opening 45 minutes and, at that stage, the deadlock had yet to be broken.
