The Lionesses produced a rather flat performance in their first Euro 2025 qualifier as they drew 1-1 with Sweden at Wembley. While Sarina Wiegman’s side could maybe take heart at not having been beaten by the marginally better side on Friday night, an error-prone display featuring missed passes and a lack of clear chances was a concern.

The defending European champions and 2023 World Cup finalists headed into the break with a 1-0 lead through Alessia Russo’s diving header, but Barcelona’s Fridolina Rolfo nodded Sweden level midway through the second half and they deserved at least the point they got off England here.

Lauren James — minutes after swapping with Lauren Hemp and moving to the right wing — delivered a teasing, beckoning cross into the box. Sweden stood unmoved as Russo hurtled herself at the ball for a diving header that gave England the lead. Almost midway through the second half, England were punished for lackadaisical defending as Keira Walsh did not get close enough to Rosa Kafaji’s cross, which Rolfo anticipated and headed past Earps. Arsenal striker Stina Blackstenius then ran through one-on-one with Earps but slid the ball wide — a terrible miss and a painful one for Sweden, who never found their winner.
