Georgia Stanway said it is “inevitable” that England will plateau after their huge success and that they need to reinvent themselves to avoid becoming predictable.

The Lionesses came from three goals down in a 4-3 loss to Germany at Wembley on Friday night. They clawed their way back to a more respectable scoreline after a chastening first 30 minutes, with England their own worst enemy as they fell three goals down.
