England’s women finished runners-up in the SheBelieves Cup after a Karen Bardsley own goal gave the USA the victory that secured them the title.
The Lionesses were hoping to pick up one point from the match in Orlando to claim the title, but after confusion in defence in the 58th minute, an attempted clearance by Millie Bright hit the keeper Bardsley to give USA a 1-0 lead.
England continued to pile on the pressure and an equaliser nearly arrived late in the game as Ellen White’s header bounced off the inside of the post.

Phil Neville, in his third match in charge of the women’s team, looked happy with the 0-0 scoreline at half-time. It would have been enough to see his side lift the trophy on goal difference, after a 4-1 win over France followed by a 2-2 draw with Germany.
