England stifled superior opponents for the second time in a week as Brazil followed Germany in settling for a Wembley stalemate.
Gareth Southgate’s long-term mission is to win hearts and minds, if not World Cups, with his fresh-faced Three Lions and if two 0-0 draws in five days represents a slow start then it might easily have been worse given the calibre of the opposition.
Brazil arrived at full strength and with a formidable run of form behind them but while they dominated possession their vaunted front three of Neymar, Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus toiled without reward.
All over at @wembleystadium, where it was nearly a dream debut for @DomSolanke. 2017 ends with a draw against the @FIFAWorldCup's most successful team.
Well done, #ThreeLions! ???? pic.twitter.com/mxcYo2UphL— England (@England) November 14, 2017
