England geared up for the Women’s European Championship with a 2-1 friendly victory over Denmark, as captain for the night Ellen White marked the honour with two goals. Mark Sampson’s side were playing their final warm-up match before the tournament begins in the Netherlands later this month, and emerged victorious thanks to White’s 22nd and 23rd international goals. Way before Harder had put them back on equal terms in the second half, Denmark were threatening from set-piece situations. Mie Jans had a goal disallowed from a first-half corner when the England goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain was adjudged to have been fouled. Sampson’s side claimed the victory thanks to White’s persistence and predatory finish 10 minutes later.
