England 1-1 Canada: Man City's Janine Beckie spoils Lionesses' night after Sarina Wiegman's side went ahead through a stunning Millie Bright strike in Arnold Clark Cup clash

England Women had to settle for a 1-1 draw in their opening Arnold Clark Cup fixture as Canada came from behind to claim a point at the Riverside.

Millie Bright’s volley had given England the lead at half-time but Manchester City winger Janine Beckie’s stunner drew the Olympic gold medal winners level shortly after the break.

Beckie’s goal was the first England have conceded since Sarina Wiegman took charge of the side in September. This mini tournament, which also includes Spain and Germany, was organised by the FA to give the Lionesses games against higher ranked opposition before this summer’s home Euros.
