The highly-anticipated match between England and the United States women ended in a goalless draw at Wembley. Former Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was denied victory on her return to London as the USA had a goal ruled out for offside and a penalty overturned by VAR. England, the European champions, were more solid but lacked creativity in front of a 78,000 crowd. Hayes, who coached the USA to Olympic gold, was proud of her team’s performance. England’s coach, Sarina Wiegman, saw the match as a measure of their progress as they build towards the Euros next year. Both teams will play friendlies on Tuesday, with England facing Switzerland and the USA taking on the Netherlands.
