With an opening victory safely under their belt, a much-changed England side edged to a win over Italy in the Arnold Clark Cup. In front of 32,128 fans in Coventry, the Lionesses retained their unbeaten run despite conceding a controversial goal.
Rachel Daly headed a double as she continued her claim for a striker’s role while Sofia Cantore scored for the visitors. Sarina Wiegman was pleased with her team’s performance. “I’m very happy,” the England manager said. “Of course, I’m happy with the win because we always play to win. But today we saw many players on the pitch. We saw different players than last Thursday and that’s exactly what we wanted.”
