England's dreams of reaching their first Women's World Cup final were dashed as Steph Houghton's late penalty was saved in a dramatic semi‑final loss to holders the United States.

The England skipper's 84th‑minute spot‑kick was held by Alyssa Naeher, shortly before Houghton's fellow centre‑back Millie Bright was sent off for a second bookable offence, as the Lionesses exited at the last‑four stage for a third major tournament in a row.

Winger Christen Press and striker Alex Morgan scored for the US.
