England maintained their unbeaten run under Sarina Wiegman with a goalless draw with Spain at Carrow Road.<\/p>\n

The Lionesses\u2019 wait for a first Arnold Clark Cup win went on after they hit a post through substitute Lauren Hemp while Jordan Nobbs and all-time top scorer Ellen White were also denied.<\/p>\n

ENGLAND 2-1 SPAIN \u2013 JULY 2022<\/p>\n

England booked their place in the semi-finals of the European Women\u2019s Championship after coming from behind to beat the pre-tournament favourites in extra time in Brighton.<\/p>\n

Ella Toone stepped off the bench and volleyed in the equaliser in the 84th minute after Esther Gonzalez gave Spain the lead but they continued to probe for a winner before extra time.<\/p>\n

England managed to shift the momentum in extra time and made the pressure count just six minutes into the additional 30 courtesy of Georgia Stanway\u2019s screamer which lifted the roof off the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Lionesses secured a semi-final clash with Sweden and went on to win the tournament.<\/p>\n

SPAIN 1-0 ENGLAND \u2013 AUGUST 2023

In the biggest meeting in the history of the two sides, Spain broke England hearts the last time the two teams played in a final at the 2023 World Cup in Australia.<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s Olga Carmona slotted the all-important winner past goalkeeper Mary Earps in the first half after Lucy Bronze had given away possession in midfield.<\/p>\n

Spain had a chance to double their advantage after Keira Walsh handled inside the area but Earps saved Jennifer Hermoso\u2019s penalty with 20 minutes to go of the contest in a timely boost for England.<\/p>\n

England piled on the pressure late on but were unable to find the equaliser and England will be looking to gain revenge in another final this time around.<\/p>\n

ENGLAND 1-0 SPAIN \u2013 FEBRUARY 2025<\/p>\n

England avenged their World Cup final defeat 18 months later with a 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n

It was the first time the two teams had met since Spain beat England in the 2023 Women\u2019s World Cup final and Jess Park struck in the first half after she put in the rebound from Alessia Russo\u2019s initial strike.<\/p>\n

Spain had chances through Ballon d\u2019Or winner Aitana Bonmati, Claudia Pina and Lucia Garcia but England held firm to deliver their revenge.<\/p>\n

The two sides met just over a month ago as Claudia Pina\u2019s brace helped Spain come from behind to earn a 2-1 win over England in Barcelona and deny them a place in the Nations League finals.<\/p>\n

Spain were dominant throughout the early stages but Russo gave England a lead against the run of play when she latched onto Walsh\u2019s pass and slotted beyond Cata Coll.<\/p>\n

England were on course for the finals until Pina was introduced and she made her mark with an equaliser just two minutes after coming on.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Barcelona striker then completed the turnaround 10 minutes later with a sensational strike from 25 yards which handed Spain a deserved win which will be fresh in the mind when the teams line up on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ENGLAND 0-0 SPAIN \u2013 FEBRUARY 2022 England\u2019s wait for an Arnold Clark Cup win went on following a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5312],"tags":[2000,299,104],"class_list":{"0":"post-287774","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-spain"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114907962847148217","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
