SYDNEY – European champions England stood on the brink of the Women’s World Cup last 16 after a Lauren James cracker in the sixth minute gave them a 1-0 win over Denmark on Friday. But an otherwise hugely satisfactory night for England in front of just over 40,000 fans...

Yet for all that, Denmark nearly equalised with their first chance on 24 minutes when Rikke Marie Madsen took the ball inside the area on the turn and flashed just wide of the far post.Skipper Pernille Harder shot straight at goalkeeper Mary Earps as Denmark carved out three decent looks at goal within a few minutes.

She was stretchered off in tears and replaced by Laura Coombs seven minutes before half-time, a question mark now hanging over the rest of the Barcelona player’s World Cup.
