Leah Williamson reflected on England's Nations League defeat to Spain, acknowledging that the team was taught a significant lesson in performance. Despite starting strongly with a goal from Alessia Russo, England struggled in the second half, allowing Spain to dominate possession and score twice. Williamson stressed the need for the Lionesses to adapt more quickly under pressure and improve their ball control ahead of their European Championship title defense next month. The defeat highlighted areas for growth as they prepare for tougher challenges.
I think you saw some of the best of us in the previous game, and then we were slightly off it today. The first half was a great display.
We didn't have any real threat. Under that much pressure against the top sides, that's what happens. We just have to be better on the ball.
