ROME – Italy were defeated 5-1 by England’s Lionesses in a friendly in Spain, ahead of the European qualifiers.
England hit the ground running, with Lotte Wubben-Moy scoring her first goal for England exactly one minute into the match. The Arsenal centre-back headed the ball past Laura Giuliani after receiving Alex Greenwood’s corner kick.
Wubben-Moy nearly scored again, heading the ball downwards on the end of a Chloe Kelly free kick, however, was brilliantly denied by Giuliani.
