Young Lionesses dominate with win over Switzerland
The Independent
|December 04, 2024
Grace Clinton’s early finish proved the winner as England concluded 2024 with a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in a friendly at Bramall Lane.
Continuing preparations for next summer’s title defence at the Euros by taking on the team who will be hosting the tournament, a much-changed, youthful Lionesses side went in front in the eighth minute when Clinton buried the loose ball after Manchester United teammate Millie Turner had headed against the post.
England were unable to add to that despite creating a number of chances, including debutant Laura Blindkilde Brown being denied by Swiss goalkeeper Elvira Herzog.
Opposite number Hannah Hampton then did well to tip a Meriame Terchoun shot over the crossbar, before Georgia Stanway cracked a shot against Herzog’s post in stoppage time.

QI just discovered my UK passport expired in January. And while I have a valid US passport, I can’t use it to travel to the UK for the event I’m supposed to attend in two weeks. Were I just an American I would get an ETA, but that’s not allowed for someone who is a British citizen. It’ll take a month to renew my passport. Any suggestions to rescue my trip?
