England needed a retaken penalty from Georgia Stanway to secure a nervy 1-0 victory over debutantes Haiti at the Women's World Cup on Saturday.
The reigning European champions produced an unconvincing performance in their opening Group G match at Brisbane Stadium in Australia.
Despite dominating possession and having 11 shots on target to Haiti's two, England were reliant on Mary Earps to secure all three points when the Three Lions goalkeeper blocked a shot from Haitian substitute Roseline Eloissaint eight minutes from time.
The only goal of the game came when England were awarded a penalty after Batcheba Loui's handball in the box in the 29th minute.
