England rounded off their SheBelieves Cup campaign with a narrow defeat at the hands of European and Olympic champions Germany in Washington. Lina Magull hit the bar for Germany before Anja Mittag scored the winner just before half-time with a fine finish from 12 yards. England threatened an equaliser after the break with Jordan Nobbs and Demi Stokes going close. Jill Scott had a chance to score in stoppage time but fired over. The Lionesses went into the game knowing a victory would give them a great chance of lifting the trophy following Saturday's defeat of hosts and world champions USA. But Mark Sampson's team could find no way through after Mittag had scored her 50th international goal.

England, who lost 2-1 to France in their opening game, finished the tournament with one win and two defeats. In the final game of the tournament, France beat hosts USA 3-0 - their worst defeat since a 4-0 loss to Brazil in the 2007 World Cup semi-finals - to win the trophy. The French, with two wins and a draw, topped the four-team table with seven points from Germany (4). England finished third on three points, above the US on goal difference. Their next game is a friendly against Italy at Port Vale (19:45 GMT) on Friday, 7 April.
