• Disorganised Lionesses conceded three first-half goals
• Georgia Stanway: ‘It’s a process. This is still a step forward’

Jess Carter believes England’s chaotic 4-3 defeat against Germany came at the right time to help address their shortcomings before next summer’s European Championship.

The Lionesses will defend the title they won on home soil in 2022 in Switzerland next summer and rather than hitting the panic button after conceding four goals on Friday night, England are determined to use the loss as a learning exercise.
