Wasteful England draw with Australia
England were made to rue their missed chances as they conceded a late goal to draw with Australia in a friendly.
The Lionesses led from the 21st minute, when Fran Kirby added to her goal against Brazil on Saturday with a well-taken opening strike from close range.
They then wasted a number of good opportunities, while Lucy Staniforth had a goal ruled out for offside.
And Australia made them pay at Craven Cottage when Clare Polkinghorne headed in from a corner with six minutes left.
