England Women 1-0 Switzerland Women: Grace Clinton Secures Victory as Lionesses Conclude 2024 International Campaign

Sarina Wiegman selected a highly experimental starting XI, which turned out to be the youngest team in her three-and-a-half-year tenure as Lionesses boss. This decision was made in order to gain valuable insights into which players are best suited for next summer's tournament.

She will have liked plenty of what she saw from England's high-energy, all-action youngsters, as Grace Clinton got on the scoresheet for the third time in five appearances and Aggie Beever-Jones impressed alongside debutant Laura Blindkilde-Brown.

The opener was scored inside eight minutes as Millie Turner - on her first England start - glanced Jess Park's free-kick against the post and Clinton reacted first to turn home the rebound.

The hosts continued to dominate but failed to convert any further chances, inviting Switzerland into the game in the second period after a series of substitutions did more harm than good to England's rhythm.
