The Lionesses began the defence of their European Championship trophy with a 1-1 draw with Sweden at Wembley Stadium.
Arsenal’s Alessia Russo headed in from a Lauren James cross in the twenty-fourth minute. Sarina’s Wiegman’s side failed to push on and secure a second. The visitors drew level via Fridolina Rolfo’s header.
We were fortunate to have Chris Foxwell on hand to capture the action.
