PHIL’S LIONESSES ROAR BACK

ENGLAND women fought back from a controversial penalty to beat Brazil 2-1 in their opening SheBelieves Cup game last night in Chester, Pennsylvania. Fran Kirby was the creator for both England goals, fine finishes by Ellen White (right, 49mins) and Beth Mead (75). England manager Phil Neville will have been furious at the penalty award after 16 minutes. Andressa Alves slotted home after Lucy Bronze was harshly adjudged to have fouled Marta.
