Spain 1-0 England: Slick European style and brilliant Aitana Bonmati - how Jorge Vilda's side won the World Cup

Spain won their first Womens World Cup title less than a year after 15 players threatened to boycott the tournament; the victory makes La Roja the first team to hold the U17, U20 and senior world titles at the same time

Unfortunately, by then, the damage had already been done. England's unified front ripped apart in one fell swoop.Wiegman spoke in the preamble about England playing the game of their lives. The sentiment was echoed by captain Millie Bright. But talking the talk is one thing, walking the walk entirely another.

Vilda's side dominated the ball with intelligent passing triangles and give and goes. At times, England couldn't get near. It's not their usual approach - to play the majority of the game without the ball - and conceding so much possession seemed to unnerve England's best ball-players.To illustrate, Keira Walsh only touched the ball 50 times - Aitana Bonmati registered 74 touches.
