      by

      Unfortunately for United, Dortmund would regain the lead behind 18-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko’s boot.
      BVB would hold the lead for the remainder of the game, resulting in United’s third loss in a row.

      Final result: Manchester United 2 Borussia Dortmund 3

      Man Utd XI: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Eriksen, Dalot, Sancho, Pellistri, Williams, Van De Beek, McTominay, Forson.

      New owner, new manager, new era
      Todd Boehly decided when he took over the club that a complete revamp of the club from top to bottom was required.
      It started with the players he brought in during the January transfer window and is now still evolving in the summer.
      Mauricio Pochettino is now the man tasked with moulding this squad into what it once was, winners.
      There is no quick fix, this will take time and that is the one thing the club will need to give the Argentine manager, something not many have been gifted at Stamford Bridge.
      Pochettino wins first Chelsea trophy
      The Blues have won the Summer Series trophy.
      Two goals from Thiago Silva and Christopher Nkunku seal the victory and Reece James lifts the first silverware of the Mauricio Pochettino reign.
      Tougher challenges lie ahead, but this should give the squad more confidence for what lies ahead, starting with Liverpool at home in their opening Premier League fixture.

      One more game in USA for The Blues
      Chelsea will face Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday to conclude their tour of the USA.
      It will offer another tough test of Pochettino’s new looking squad, although the manager will be focussed on performances against Premier League sides more.
      Despite the challenge Dortmund will offer, the club have no European football to contend with this season, so their first priority will be to change that for the following season.
      Chelsea win Summer Series trophy
      Goals from Thiago Silva and Christopher Nkunku seal victory for Mauricio Pochettino’s side against Fulham.
      They go on to win their first silverware under the manager, which should give them confidence for the season ahead.
      Of all the signings they have made of late, the two players who have stood out in this tournament are Nkunku and Jackson.
      If they can take this form into the Premier League, Chelsea should see a positive improvement on last season’s campaign.
      FT: Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      That’s it here in Maryland.
      Chelsea get the win and secure the Summer Series trophy.
      Am sure Todd Boehly will expect a lot more silverware from the manager in the years to come.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      91. We are into the two additional minutes being added here.
      This has been a decent game but Pochettino will be the more pleased of the two managers.
      He will know a lot more about the squad he has for this season after this tournament.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      89. Jackson has seemed lively up top in this second half.
      The striker seems to have plenty of running in him and he is happy to hit the channels.
      He has not had much in terms of decent chances in front of goal however.
      Credit: Getty
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      87. As we near the end of the game, it seems Chelsea are going to win this Summer Series trophy.
      It would take two goals from Fulham to prevent that now.
      Which would then result in Aston Villa winning the trophy.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      85. Pochettino will be hoping to keep Reece James fit this season.
      Since he really had his breakthrough season where he was being labelled as England’s best right-back, he has really struggled with injuries.
      The same could be said of Ben Chilwell too.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      83. Chelsea still seem keen to try and find another goal.
      With it being a pre-season friendly, you often see sides sit back at this stage, happy to see the game out.
      The advantage in making so many changes is keeping the hunger of the players who are out on the pitch.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      81. Jimenez has done well holding the ball up since coming on.
      Fulham haven’t really created anything in front of goal for their new number nine.
      You always feel that a new striker needs a goal or two to settle at a new club.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      79. James does well to win the ball back and clips a lovely ball over the Fulham defence out wide.
      The cross is poor as it is easily cut out by Diop.
      Wilson looks to come away with it but is fouled by a clumsy challenge from Gallagher.
      Credit: Getty
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      77. End-to-end stuff here now.
      Fulham counter and the chance opens up for De Cordova Reid at a tight angle but he makes the keeper work with a save.
      As Chelsea go up the other end, the ball is laid off to Gallagher outside the box who shoots but it is all too easy for Leno.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      75. Jackson does well on the left and looks to run at Bassey.
      His quick feet almost see him skip passed the player on the byline but it goes out for a goal kick.
      It will be interesting to see how Jackson does in the Premier League this season.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      73. Hall does well down the left and whips a good ball into the back post.
      It seems perfectly weighted for Jackson who tries to hit it on the volley but the ball comes off his shin and goes well wide.
      Good chance for the striker, albeit a difficult one.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      71. It has all got a bit scrappy in the middle of the park.
      Both teams are pressing and giving no time to the player in possession of the ball.
      If Fulham want to get back into this game, they need to find a goal soon.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      69. Wilson does well on the right wing, beating Cucurella in a straight foot race as he glided passed him.
      He gets to the byline and looks to cut it back into the box but the ball is cut out by Gilchrist.
      The players stop for another drinks break.
      Credit: Getty
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      67. Fulham have yet to trouble the Chelsea goal in this half.
      It will be a worry for Marco Silva that his side are not creating much and conceding at the other end.
      That would provide them with big problems when it comes to their Premier League survival this season.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      65. Reece James takes the free kick, looking to bend the ball into the top corner.
      The theory was great but the application lacking.
      His effort goes harmlessly over the crossbar.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      63. Hall does well skipping passed a few challenges before he is brought to ground.
      Good run by the youngster.
      Chance for Chelsea to put some pressure on the Fulham goal.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      61. Chelsea make some more changes.
      Most notably they bring on 6’9″ keeper Bergstrom.
      The Finnish keeper made his international debut recently.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      59. Chelsea are awarded a free kick for the foul on Nkunku.
      Chalobah is down injured and receiving medical treatment.
      This will be a worry for Mauricio Pochettino.
      Credit: Getty
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      57. Some great one touch football sees Chelsea walk through the Fulham defence.
      Just as they get a shot away, which is saved by Leno, the linesman raises his flag for an offside.
      Fulham counter attack and Reed gets a shot off at goal but he drags it well wide.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      55. Lovely flick from Willian into the path of De Cordova-Reid.
      He beats the defender and gets to the byline and looks to pick out Jimenez in the box.
      Chalobah gets there first and heads it behind for a corner.
      Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
      53. New Chelsea signing Nicolas Jackson has recently said that his idol growing up was Demba Ba.
      If he can score as many as his idol did in the Premier League, the Chelsea fans will take to him quickly.
      Fulham are starting to knock the ball around more, using Jimenez as a focal point to hold the ball up.

      F1 Belgian Grand Prix LIVE RESULTS: Verstappen WINS race as Hamilton finishes in sixth place – updates

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN has won the Belgian Grand Prix after starting the race in sixth place. The Championship runaway leader Verstappen had been hit with a FIVE-place grid penalty for using too many gearbox components this season.
      But it didn’t matter as he stormed his way to victory once again.

      DREAM TEAM IS LIVE – JOIN NOW TO BATTLE FOR THE £50k TOP PRIZE
      Follow ALL of the latest updates below…
      Belgium Grand Prix dominated by Red Bull
      The team will have no better sight than three of their team on the podium celebrating another successful day.
      Sergio Perez will be glad to be back on the podium after what he will have seen as an absence that has been for just too long.
      Max Verstappen helps his teammate celebrate as he spends his time most Sundays, covered in champagne.

      Hamilton gamble pays off
      Lewis Hamilton pitted just before his final lap to change his tyres to try and clock the fastest lap of the day.
      Having secured fourth spot, and with no chance of catching Charles Leclerc in third, the Mercedes driver decided to try and secure the point.
      It paid off as Hamilton managed to clock the fastest lap of the day on his brand new medium compound tyres
      Perez’s dad celebrates son’s podium
      As Sergio Perez collects his trophy to mark his second placed finish, his dad could not be prouder.

      Red Bull gives you wins
      While many people point towards the performance of the Red Bull car as something that its competitors just cannot compete with.
      That aside, credit has to be given to the driving performances of Max Verstappen as he will live as a legend of the sport.
      Even his own teammate struggles to compete with him, driving exactly the same car.

      Official results of Belgian Grand Prix
      Here is the breakdown of who got amongst the points in Spa today.

      The original deja vu moment in F1
      Today marked the eighth consecutive victory by Max Verstappen.
      Seeing him cross the finish line in first place is become a regular sight in the Formula One calendar.
      You have to wonder who can challenge the Dutch driver as he runs away with another drivers’ championship.
      Credit: Reuters
      Checo builds confidence in Spa
      Sergio Perez will be happy to be back on the podium and it was a good drive today by the Mexican.
      For the majority of the race, he kept the pressure on his Red Bull teammate but more importantly, he held off the rest of the field.
      With the mid-season break coming up, it will give Perez the time to recharge and look to come back hard against Verstappen in the second half of the season.
      Max sets new personal record
      Max Verstappen wins his first Grand Prix after starting in sixth place on the grid today.
      As a result, he wins the vote for driver of the day.
      The guy is an absolute machine.

      Belgian Grand Prix results
      Here are how the top five finished at Spa:

      Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
      Sergio Perez (Red Bull)
      Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
      Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
      Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)

      Max Verstappen wins the Belgian Grand Prix
      Lap 43/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      This could be the perfect result for Red Bull today if drivers Verstappen and Perez occupy the top two positions.
      Leclerc has managed to build his lead on Hamilton, trying to book himself a podium finish.
      The Mercedes driver is running out of laps to catch third place so he has gone into the pits for some medium tyres to try and clock the fastest lap of the day.
      Lap 41/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Lance Stroll is told he is not doing as much ‘lift and coast’ as teammate Fernando Alonso.
      That would suggest they have concerns with the amount of fuel Stroll has on board.
      As a result, Tsunoda and Ocon are closing the gap on the Aston Martin.
      Lap 39/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Logan Sargent and Lewis Hamilton are both shown the black and white flag for exceeding track limits.
      Charles Leclerc is trying to close the gap between him and Sergio Perez.
      Fernando Alonso is looking to hold off George Russell as the chances of him catching Lewis Hamilton seem remote at best.
      Lap 37/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Verstappen suggests an extra pit stop to practice their pitting.
      The simple reply from the team is ‘not today Max’.
      To give him enough time to do so, he would have to go hard on the softs he is on, which is a risk on some of these fast bends.
      Lap 35/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Verstappen makes use of his soft compound tyres and sets the fastest lap of the day, much to the frustrations of Nico Hulkenberg.
      The Dutch driver picked up 8 points from his sprint win yesterday and, as it stands, picks up another with that fast lap.
      Surely at this late stage of the race, only a mistake by Verstappen would let anybody in now.
      Credit: AFP
      Lap 33/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Sergio Perez now has a 9.3 second lead over Charles Leclerc in third.
      Lewis Hamilton is looking to close the gap on the Ferrari between now and the end of the race.
      There is a huge gap between Hamilton and Alonso, now up to a massive 23.6 seconds.
      Lap 31/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Verstappen and Alonso are both on medium tyres but everyone else in the top ten are on soft tyres.
      Immediately Alonso takes action and heads into the pits to get those soft tyres on.
      Verstappen has a 27.6 second lead and his team are instructing him to come into the pits for a tyre change too.
      Alonso manages to get back out on the track ahead of sixth placed George Russell.
      Lap 29/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Fernando Alonso has taken Lewis Hamilton as a result of his pit stop and moves into fourth place in the race.
      The Mercedes driver is only 0.8 seconds behind him though.
      It does not take long for Hamilton to get back into fourth on the much fresher tyres.
      Lap 27/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      George Russell is putting some fast lap times in right now and takes Lando Norris to move into eighth place.
      Norris has done well to work his way back up the field into the points.
      Charles Leclerc is trying to build a gap between himself and Lewis Hamilton.
      Credit: EPA
      Lap 25/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      The rain shower seems to have let up already and Verstappen’s lap times suggest that the track is drying up.
      Verstappen now has a 6.03 second lead on Perez in second.
      There is a big gap between second and third place.
      Hamilton has some 13.6 second lead over fifth placed Alonso.
      Lap 23/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      The rain we are seeing is already making it tricky out there.
      Verstappen almost loses control going through the chicane.
      The Dutch driver is immediately on the team radio, ‘I almost lost it’, he tells them.
      Lap 21/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      The rain that is due to come in is forecast for ten minutes in duration.
      This would mean that drivers would have to pit to go onto intermediate tyres.
      It would be music to the ears of Russell and Gasly who have yet to pit in the race.
      Everyone else would be taking their second pit stop.
      Lap 19/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Some great driving by Verstappen as Perez was helpless to prevent the defending world champion for becoming the new race leader.
      After starting sixth on the grid, the Dutch driver now has clear track in front of him.
      Fernando Alonso has now moved into fifth place, although there is some gap between him and fourth placed Lewis Hamilton.
      Credit: EPA
      Lap 17/44 – Perez leads, Verstappen second
      The two Red Bulls exchange places once again.
      Everyone apart from Gasly and Hulkenberg are out on the medium tyres now.
      Sergio Perez has a 0.4 second lead on his teammate currently.
      Lap 15/44 – Verstappen leads, Perez second
      Max Verstappen leads after both Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc pitted.
      Their some rain forecast to be coming in so both Perez and Leclerc changed to medium tyres.
      Verstappen is given the order to box himself.

      Chances of this fight ever happening are slim.

      It then escalated
      Like a bull to a red rag, Alexia went for Astrid and wrestled her to the ground.
      The pair fell backwards.
      Grace speared Wett through a nearby table – leaving Wett splayed out on the floor.
      Medics rushed to the scene to give Wett medical attention before the stream was cut off.

      It started with a slap
      Who saw that coming.
      Astrid just couldn’t help herself.
      As she and Alexia argued over the belt, Astrid gave her a slap.

      Astrid hurt
      So, this happened.
      As Astrid was slapped, she fell back and through a table.
      We don’t now how she is, the YouTube channel has now cut.
      We await news on how she is. The last glimpse we had before coverage was cut showed her on her back with her team around her.
      Wow
      Performance interruption!
      The coverage has cut because Alexia and Astrid have had a pre bust up.
      It all started when Alexia flashed the stolen belt that belonged to Astrid.
      They squabbled, Alexia struck out and Astrid is floored!
      We’ve not even started the fight!
      Sparring session
      Fight time isn’t till 8pm.
      However, we are being treated to a Astrid Wett sparring session.
      Outside the ring, watching it all unfold, Alexia isn’t impressed.
      She reiterates her feeling: “You shouldn’t underestimate me.”
      Look at those figures
      Ahead of the fight, 124,000 viewers are on the YouTube live stream.
      Phenomenal numbers to see these two influencers fight.
      Let’s hope we see a great fight.
      The feud is ready, you can see that in the way they glare at each other.
      ‘I feel like I am climaxing now’
      Astrid Wett couldn’t help but turn the airwaves blue.
      Before she entered the ring, she said: “I feel like I am climaxing now,” ahead of her fight.
      “It looks she’s been training on Wii Sport,” she added on her opponent. “I’ve got nothing to worry about.”
      Here we go
      Making her way to the ring, the challenger.
      It’s Alexia Grace. As she appears, she’s booed by bystanders.
      “She’s got all her people here, I don’t need my people here,” Alexia tells the show’s hosts.
      “I am feeling confident,” she added.
      “No one has seen me box, so people should stop underestimating me.”
      Predictions
      Marnie Swindells, The Apprentice winner and owner of Bronx Gym, has made her predictions.
      She’s thankful to stage her first fight at the gym.
      And she’s predicting that Astrid will win it comfortably.
      Fight poster
      Live from the Bronx Gym.
      It’s fight night.
      Both ladies appear fierce.

      And we’re off
      The programme has started.
      Are you ready?
      We’ve been treated to a video about the feud between Alexia and Astrid.
      From stealing belts to spray-painting Alexia’s car, these two clearly share bad blood.
      Expect fireworks.
      Who is Alexia Grace?
      Alexia is gearing up to face off against foe Astrid Wett.
      Born in 1998, Alexia Grace is an influencer, best known for TikTok and OnlyFans.
      She kicked off her working life as a flight attendant for Jet2.
      However, she ditched cabin crew to focus on being an OnlyFans star, where she rakes in over £25K a month.
      Pre-fight
      Astrid Wett is looking to end her feud with Alexia Grace tonight.
      But, the bad blood was evident in their weigh-in.
      Wett took a sip from the bottle of Prime before throwing the liquid over her opponent not once but three times.
      Presenter Wade Plemons was then forced to step in to contain the drink throwing, saying: “Astrid, I’m gonna take this now.”

      Barcelona 3-0 Real Madrid
      Barca may have ended up with the win, but it was nowhere near as clean-cut as the scoreline would suggest.
      Real put up a fight, and clattered the woodwork on what felt like countless occasions, but simply couldn’t find that clinical finish needed to get past the brick wall that was Ter Stegen.
      Fittingly, the German was handed the man of the match honours following the game.
      Fulltime: Barcelona 3-0 Real Madrid
      And that’s all she wrote as Barcelona walk away with the bragging rights.
      Goals from Dembele, Lopez, and Torres gave Barca their second win of the preseason.
      GOAL BARCELONA
      90. Ferran Torres makes it three for Barca!
      After a cheeky chip over Courtois, he volleys it into the back of the net to all but give Barcelona the win.

      86. Vinicius hits the woodwork yet again!
      The Brazilian has been extremely unlucky tonight not to have found the back of the net after a series of narrow misses.
      GOAL BARCELONA
      84. Femin Lopez scores an absolute STUNNER with just six minutes to go to give Barca a 2-0 lead.
      Some Real fans may take issue with that as Kroos had been left on the deck following a tackle just prior to the shot.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid.
      82. Vinicius shoots just wide before Rodrygo is taken off for Abdelkader.
      Some fans have slowly begun to make their way to the exits as this one draws to a close.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      80. Garcia is booked for Barca as the game enters the final ten minutes.
      Time is running out for Ancelotti’s men if they’re to even things up and force a penalty shootout.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      75. Xavi makes multiple changes as De Jong, Lewandowski, Romeu, and Balde make way for Dest, Alonso, Fati, and Torres.
      They’ll be hoping these fresh legs can inject some life into a game that has quietened down this half.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      74. The official attendance is 82,026.
      This marks the highest for a football game in AT&T Stadium’s history and marks the highest attended El Clasico in U.S. history.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      72. Substitution for Real Madrid as Bellingham is replaced by Joselu.
      The England international’s first El Classico had its moments but was ultimately relatively quiet on the whole.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      70. Romeu is handed a yellow card as things get chippy between the sides once more.
      The crowd have been notably quiet for much of this second half as tension grips AT&T.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      65. Barca make two changes with Raphina and Lopez replacing Dembele and Pedri.
      More changes look imminent with further substitutes warming up for both sides.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      61. A thumping effort from Tchouameni rattles the crossbar, before bounding off of Ter Stegen’s head behind the goal for a corner.
      Shortly after, Madrid are awarded a free kick on the edge of the penalty area.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      57. The old guard has arrived as Kroos and Modric take to the pitch in place of Valverde and Camavinga.
      Let’s see if these veterans of many an El Classico can be the difference here in Texas.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      55. Barca shows off some lovely passing as they charge their way down the field.
      Unfortunately for Xavi and Co. it ultimately leads to nothing more than a goalkick.
      The second half has seemed a little tense so far with both sides struggling to penetrate their opponents’ back lines.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      50. Early chances for Barca as they try and find a way through a stout Real back line.
      Meanwhile, it looks like Modric is warming up on the sideline.
      Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      45. The second half kicks off and both sides remain unchanged.
      Real keep a hold of the ball early on as they continue their search for an equaliser.
      Halftime: Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid
      And breathe…
      It’s been a captivating half of football here in Texas, with the two sides separated only by an early goal from Dembele, via a Gundogan free kick.
      Tempers have flared on numerous occasions, most notably resulting in a De Jong yellow card as both teams clashed in the center of the park.
      Both sides have already made changes, but this hasn’t done much to quell the fiery nature of this game so far.
      Heading into the second half, keep an eye on who Ancelotti and Xavi look to bring on with the likes of Kroos, Modric, Fati, and Torres all still available as both sides fight for a win they clearly want – friendly or not.
      Dembele’s goal remains the difference at halftimeCredit: Getty
      Substitution and Booking
      Mendy is taken off in place of Garcia with just three minutes of added time to go.
      Shortly after, Ter Stegen is sent diving to maintain’s Barca’s slim lead.
      Carvajal is subsequently booked as tempers continue to flare up between these two old rivals.
      DIVING SAVE!
      Now down at the other end, Courtois is sent diving to save Dembele from scoring a second.
      Shortly after De Jong is booked as it all begins to boil over in the middle of the park with players clashing around the center circle.
      REAL HIT THE WOODWORK!
      Real Madrid hit the woodwork TWICE as they continue to pile on the pressure.
      First a shot from Vinicius narrowly misses out before Bellingham tries his luck.
      Applause rolls around AT&T
      The crowd applauds Araujo as he returns to his feet to continue.
      This game remains on a knife-edge after 36 minutes with Barca leading 1-0.
      Yellow card Camavinga
      A yellow card is handed to Camavinga after a foul on Araujo.
      The Barca defender remains on the deck as trainers come over to tend to what appears to be a lower leg issue.
      SAVE!
      After a foul on Vinicius, Real Madrid are handed a free kick just yards outside of the penalty box.
      Rodrygo fires a dart towards the top corner but at full stretch, Ter Stegen manages to keep it out.
      Managers watch on closely
      Both Xavi and Ancelotti are standing on the very edge of their boxes watching on as Real continue to press.
      Half an hour gone and Barca continue to hold onto their 1-0 lead.

      The Lionesses managed to hang on to secure a 1-0 win despite Denmark hitting the post late on.

      Stay up to date with all the action from the Sydney Football Stadium…
      That’s all from the Sydney Football Stadium
      England have almost confirmed their spot in the knockout stages with a 1-0 win over Denmark.
      The Lionesses will now have to wait for this afternoon’s match between China and Haiti to conclude before they find out where they stand in Group D.
      It wasn’t England’s best performance, but they showed glimpses of excellence during the first half before a devastating injury to Keira Walsh killed all momentum.
      Nevertheless, the Lionesses are still undefeated in this year’s tournament and they are yet to concede a goal.
      The race for the World Cup is still well and truly alive.
      Thanks for reading!
      Rachel Daly on Walsh’s injury
      Speaking to BBC Sport, Day said: “It’s not nice to see anyone go off injured but Keira is Keira and she is an integral part of the team.
      “I am really really hoping with everything that it isn’t anything too serious. She is a special player an special person.
      “Let’s hope it isn’t as bad as it looked and it was only a precaution.”

      Reece James reacts to Lauren’s goal
      Lauren James scored her first World Cup goal just six minutes into her first World Cup start today.
      Her brother, Chelsea’s Reece James, simply tweeted: “Proud.”

      ‘It’s serious’
      It did look serious so if you can’t walk off the pitch it’s serious. I don’t know, we’ve just finished the game.Sarina WiegmanReacting to Walsh’s injury on BBC Sport
      Worry for Walsh
      Keira Walsh was spotted on crutches and with her right knee in a brace during the second half.
      England lost all momentum after the midfielder was forced off shortly before half time.
      Walsh will now likely miss the rest of the tournament with what could potentially be an ACL injury.
      Her absence will be a devastating blow for the Lionesses.
      Walsh is irreplaceable in the England squad, so Wiegman may have to switch the structure of the team around to compensate for her absence.

      Sarina Wiegman reacts
      Speaking to BBC Sport, the England manager said: “We started well, we played well and scored the goal and then we had a little stage in the first half [where] we lost balls we didn’t have to lose.
      “Then we had the horrible moment with Keira. Second half was a fight and the team showed we adapted to the new situation and we had to fight to win. I am very proud of the team.”
      On James’ goal, she added: “For me it doesn’t matter who scores the goals. They played well, they started well and yes, LJ scored a beautiful goal.”
      Lauren James reacts
      Speaking to BBC Sport, the England winger said: “Yeah definitely [it was a great feeling to score]. It was a dream and something I’ve been thinking about but most importantly I’m happy to help us win.
      “I kind of had a thought and then as soon as it hit the net it was just relief.”
      “They [teammates] were just really happy for me and they said it before the game they had a good feeling about me. I am happy to have good people around me.”
      “I am calm all around the pitch. I am happy to bring that on the pitch.”

      Full Time – England 1-0 Denmark
      Lauren James’ world-class early strike was overshadowed by the devastating injury to Keira Walsh.
      Walsh has played more minutes for England than anyone else since Euro 2022, meaning she is one of the most important players in the heart of the team.
      The Lionesses fell flat after the midfielder went off, and their intensity dropped significantly which allowed Denmark to get back into the game.

      Greenwood picks up the ball in defence before carrying it forward and setting it to James in the No.10 position.
      James then skips past Holmgaard before sending a perfect through-ball to Kelly, who passes it back to Bronze.
      Bronze attempts a long-range strike, but her effort is off-target.

      The Lionesses come close again as Daly sends a long ball through to England in the box, who heads it towards goal, but her effort narrowly loops over the ball.

      Kick Off – England 1-0 Denmark
      We’re back underway!
      The Lionesses are just 45 minutes away from potentially booking their spot in the knockout stages!
      Half Time – England 1-0 Denmark
      England have vastly improved performance-wise compared to last week’s opening match against Haiti.
      The Lionesses are so much more defensively solid both on and off the ball and they are offering so much more going forward.
      They just need to make the most of their chances now.
