SARINA WIEGMAN blamed a lack of focus after “not good enough” England suffered another 3-2 Nations League loss to Belgium in Leuven.
The England boss before this contest said her side wanted “revenge on ourselves,” but instead the Lionesses conceded three goals in the opening 30 minutes, two years on from their defeat to the same opponents by an identical Nations League scoreline at the same venue.
Beth Mead finally got the European champions on the scoresheet with a 35th-minute penalty and 19-year-old debutant Michelle Agyemang made her presence emphatically felt, scoring 41 seconds after her 80th-minute introduction.
