Sarina Wiegman says England can 'do better' after Portugal stalemate

England boss Sarina Wiegman said she is "convinced" her side can do better after they were held to a goalless draw by Portugal in a World Cup send-off game in Milton Keynes.

The Lionesses seemed to be lacking fluidity in the clash at Stadium MK, with Aston Villa Rachel Daly carving open the only real chance of the first half with a tame header that couldn't beat Ines Pereira in the Portugal goal. Substitute Alessia Russo came close after the break but was denied by a fine goalline block from Ana Borges, while Lucy Bronze's header hit the crossbar.

The stalemate means England have now gone two games without scoring a goal, following on from their 2-0 defeat to Australia in April. However, Wiegman believes there are still positives to take from Saturday's encounter.
