England and Brazil draw blanks at Wembley

England stifled superior opponents for the second time in under a week as Brazil followed Germany in settling for a Wembley stalemate.

Brazil arrived at full strength and with a formidable run of form behind them. But while they dominated possession, their vaunted front three of Neymar, Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus laboured without reward.

Liverpool’s Dominic Solanke had a late chance to end England’s 2017 calendar with a debut winner, and it was also a night on which the likes of Joe Hart, Joe Gomez and Kyle Walker earned plenty of credit for keeping a clean sheet under pressure from one of the World Cup favourites.

Chris Coleman marked what could be his final game as Wales manager with a draw against World Cup finalists Panama.

Tom Lawrence’s 75th-minute solo strike – his second goal for Wales – looked like settling a hard-fought friendly in Cardiff.

But Wales, who saw Sam Vokes fail to convert a first-half penalty, were pegged back in the third minute of stoppage time when Armando Cooper rifled past Darren Ward.
