England 0-0 Spain: Lionesses make it back-to-back draws at Arnold Clark Cup

England remain unbeaten at the Arnold Clark Cup but also without a win, having followed up their 1-1 draw with Canada on Thursday with a stalemate against Spain at Carrow Road. The Lionesses had a good chance to score early on, Jill Scott holding off a couple of would-be tacklers in midfield before scooping a shot wide of the upright.

Other than that it was a cagey first half, with Spain dominating possession but few quality chances for either side. Ad/> The game came to life after the restart, a misplaced pass allowing Lauren Hemp to tee up a shot which came back off the frame of the goal with Spain goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez well beaten.

Not long after that, Jordan Nobbs beat the offside trap to go one-on-one but could only drag a shot wide from a narrowing angle.

Spain were jolted into life, Lucia Garcia pouncing on a defensive mix-up only to flash a shot wide before Ona Batlle curled one round the far post from the edge of the area. Barcelona star Alexia Putellas started to grow into the game, pulling the strings in midfield and creating a series of openings for her team-mates.

England continued to threaten, however, with Hemp sending White away with an excellent through-ball only for the Manchester City forward to get the ball caught under her feet.
