FT: England 1-2 Brazil

A disappointing homecoming for the European champions, who really couldn't make the numerical advantage count. Lots of possession but very few clear-cut chances in a performance that lacked cutting edge.

Stanway hits the bar from range and that's her last action as Agyemang replaces her. Huge reception for the teenager from the Etihad crowd

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 2d

Bronze and Beever-Jones on for England, replacing Carter and Kelly, meaning Le Tissier moves to centre-back...

GOAL! Stanway squeezes her penalty underneath Lorena and halves England's deficit

Penalty England! Nice lay off by Russo for Mead who darts inside and strikes at goal before being fouled. Referee points to the spot

Half-time: England 0-2 Brazil

Brazil started well, got two goals to show for it but then a red card for Angelina has allowed England to take total control of this game. That said, the hosts aren't doing much to make that numerical advantage count. Not many chances created at all

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 3d

Gotta just let Toone go through there. You're 2-0 up after 20 minutes, you don't need to make that foul

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 3d

And we've got a big changer here as Brazil are reduced to 10. Angelina makes a really daft decision, to be honest, in pulling Toone back as she races through on goal. Gives the referee no choice but to send her off.

2-0 Brazil! The visitors are spoiling England's homecoming here. Dudinha fires one in off the post after the hosts, again, look all over the place at the back

Goal Brazil! Really neat finish by Bia Zaneratto but questions to be asked of England's defence, which was sliced open far too easily. The visitors have started the brighter, though, and are good value for that lead. 1-0!

There are a few issues that England will be looking to address as a new tournament cycle, looking ahead to the 2027 World Cup, begins and building depth in the deeper midfield areas is one of them.

Fortunately, Laura Blindkilde Brown looks capable of being a fantastic part of the solution.

Renée Slegers on the injured Leah Williamson:

"She's progressing well. She did her first session on pitch yesterday, which was good. Exact timeline, we'll have to see, but we hope to see her back before Christmas. That will be great. But then everything has to go to plan."

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 13d

“We can expect to see them both on the pitch at the same time.”

Lucy Bronze and Ellie Carpenter might play the same position but the latter’s arrival feels more likely to help, rather than hinder, Bronze, Chelsea and even England.

When Chelsea signed Ellie Carpenter in the summer transfer window, one of the first thoughts for many was: What does this mean for Lucy Bronze? But the signing is good news for Bronze and even England...

Two goals for Jess Park today, who has been excellent since swapping the blue side of Manchester for red. Were a lot of questions about how it could work with her and Ella Toone but, actually, they're bouncing off each other brilliantly.

FT: Arsenal 1-2 Lyon

Arsenal out-classed tonight. Six months ago, they stunned Lyon in their own back yard but this was a totally different story, with the scoreline flattering the Gunners in the end. Conceded too many chances, were lucky not to lose by more, and created little.

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 20d

Arsenal make two more subs as Cooney-Cross and Blackstenius replace Caldentey and Russo

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 20d

Lily Yohannes and Ada Hegerberg coming on for Lyon next. It's not a bad bench...

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 20d

Brand and Damaris on, with Joseph and Heaps going off

Ameé Ruszkai @ameeruszkai.bsky.social · 20d

Joseph down in real pain literally minutes after coming on. Looks a bad one. Such a great opportunity for her to get a good half hour in a game like this, too. She's helped off the pitch by two of the physios as Lyon prepare more subs
