Portugal 0-1 England: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Beth Mead Gift Ends Lionesses' Winless Run

England Women ended their five-game winless run thanks to Beth Mead's strike on Tuesday, where the Arsenal forward pounced on a mistake from Portugal's goalkeeper to score the only goal of the game.

It wasn't the easiest start for the Lionesses as Portugal looked to sit deep and catch England on the counter-attack, with Lyon winger Jéssica Silva often finding joy in behind Phil Neville's side.

There was little to talk about for England aside from a half-hearted penalty shout from Lucy Bronze in the first-half, and the game largely followed the same script after the break.
