da dobrowin： The European champions struggled against the Matildas as one of their final warm-up matches for the 2023 World Cup did not go to plan at Brentford

da jogodeouro： Sarina Wiegman's 30-game unbeaten run as England manager came to an end on Tuesday as the Lionesses lost 2-0 to Australia.

England were second best throughout the friendly clash as the European champions showed that they still have a few issues to iron out before the World Cup this summer.

Leah Williamson put in a woeful performance in the centre of defence as she played Sam Kerr through for the opening goal and then saw the Charlotte Grant's effort bounce off her and in to make it 2-0 among a few more dodgy moments for the captain.

Australia were set up perfectly to restrict the home team, preventing them from getting key midfielder Keira Walsh on the ball to pick out some key passes.

Wiegman said before the match that she wanted a proper challenge for her team and she got exactly that and more as they suffered their first defeat since she took over.

GOAL rates England's players from Brentford Community Stadium…

Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence

Mary Earps (6/10):

Was let down by a sluggish defence but did not have a great deal of saves to make.

Lucy Bronze (6/10):

Fought hard to win the ball high up the field and put Australia under pressure on the right side. Often too far up and left huge spaces at the back but still made some solid challenges.

Leah Williamson (4/10):

Had a horrid time up against Kerr. Her anticipation was poor and it was the captain's terrible header that made it easy for the Chelsea striker to run onto and get the opening goal. Ended up deflecting the ball in for the second, too.

Esme Morgan (5/10):

Tried to recover after a Walsh error but was beaten too easily and looked rather shaky throughout.

Jess Carter (7/10):

Strong defensively and lined up expertly with James on the left flank.

Georgia Stanway (6/10):

Put in a good fight in midfield and tried to deliver some good balls into the box. Unleashed a rocket of a shot in stoppage time but it went narrowly wide.

Keira Walsh (4/10):

Gifted Australia an early chance with a terrible pass directly to the opposition. Struggled to get on the ball and was pressed into playing passes that had no effect when she did get possession.

Ella Toone (5/10):

Had a quiet game and made a couple of errors before being taken off at the hour mark.

Lauren Hemp (6/10):

Was one of England's better players before having to go off inside the first 30 minutes.

Alessia Russo (7/10):

England had a hard time finding her in a dangerous position but she made plenty of movement and was a strong presence

Chloe Kelly (7/10):

Sent some inviting crosses in from the wing but could not find a target for them.

GettySubs & Manager

Lauren James (7/10):

An early replacement for Hemp. A good threat to the Matildas' defence as she dropped back and inside to pick out dangerous passes.

Rachel Daly (6/10):

Was brought on for Toone and had England's best opportunity to pull a goal back but sent her header wide.

Jess Park (N/A):

Came on late in the game but did not have time to impact the match.

Sarina Wiegman (4/10):

Her team made a slow start and although they picked up in spells, they were never truly able to get on top of their opponents. Walsh was marked right out of the game by Australia's excellent tactics and Wiegman was unable to find the solution until it was too late.
