SARINA WIEGMAN and Emma Hayes’s sides settled for a stalemate after the hotly billed battle of the bosses ended in a goalless draw between England and the United States in their Wembley friendly.

It was the first time the two Fifa best women’s coach of the year winners had gone toe to toe on the touchline, and more than two years since the two top-ranked women’s sides in the world had met at the London venue.

Wiegman’s European champions were without a shot on target in the first half, while the visitors had a goal chalked off for offside early in the second half.
