Super-sub Ellen White saves the day for England

ELLEN WHITE came off the bench in the 69th minute and only needed 14 minutes to get England back on track.

White scored in the 83rd minute after a turnover and defending champions England beat Japan 1-0 on Sunday in the SheBelieves Cup at Red Bull Arena.

Fellow second-half substitute Toni Duggan set up the goal, blocking a pass attempt by Shiori Miyake and sending a crossing pass into the box that White slid past goalkeeper Sakiko Ikeda for her 36th international goal.
