England were given a stern examination in their goalless draw with the United States

England escaped with a precious point after being largely outplayed by the United States in a ragged goalless draw.

The Three Lions entered the contest as strong favourites having dismantled Iran in their opening encounter but were never at the races against their impressive opponents.

Greg Berhalter's men had much the better of the opening period, spurning several golden chances to take the lead.

Weston McKennie blazed a Timothy Weah cross over when unmarked and Christian Pulisic hit the bar with a powerful drive that had England keeper Jordan Pickford well beaten.

Chelsea forward Pulisic, 24, also nodded a header wide under pressure, while Mason Mount’s snapshot was the only time Gareth Southgate's side threatened in a tame first-half showing.

Southgate did not immediately shuffle his pack at the break but introduced Jordan Henderson, Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford in the second half.  

Grealish and Rashford gave England more impetus but chances remained at a premium — Harry Kane heading a last-minute free-kick wide for what would have been an underserved winner.

It is a point that means the Euro 2020 runners-up will top their group with victory over Wales, with progression assured providing the Dragons do not triumph by a four-goal margin.

For the US, a crunch showdown against Iran awaits with victory for either side certain to see them into the last 16.

Both of Group B's final games will be played at 7pm on Tuesday.
