England responded to its underwhelming defeat to Canada with a 2–1 victory against Jorge Vilda's Spain in front of 13,000 supporters in Swindon. Goals either side of the break from Beth Mead and Ellen White were enough to record the win but Aitana Bonmatí's goal from close range ensured a tense finale on a night in which Spain once again dominated possession.

Phil Neville says seeing the anger on some of his player's faces after naming his side to face Canada on Friday was "fantastic" as competition for places in the England squad heats up. Neville named a 25-player squad with several players who missed last month's SheBelieves Cup success returning in addition to the same players who traveled to the United States. With Neville aiming to give minutes to players who need them over the coming games against Canada and then Spain on Tuesday night, he admits there was some disappointment and anger when he named his starting 11 on Thursday morning.

England head coach Phil Neville has reiterated that nobody is safe as the countdown to the summer’s World Cup continues.
