An own-goal from goalkeeper Karen Bardsley sent England spinning to defeat as the United States clinched the SheBelieves Cup on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over the Lionesses.

England manager Phil Neville's first tournament in charge ended in disappointment after Megan Rapinoe's low cross took two deflections on its way into the net.

Neville's side only needed a draw to win the competition outright but were ultimately overpowered by the reigning world champions who were deserving winners.

England had arrived in Orlando in buoyant mood following a comprehensive win over France and a battling draw with Germany in early rounds of the four-nation tournament.

The USA however were a bridge too far and the hosts dominated possession in the opening stages.

US star Carli Lloyd, who has scored goals in a World Cup final as well as the Olympic gold medal matches in 2008 and 2012, won her 250th cap here though was kept quiet early on.

England finally made inroads into the hosts' defence on 20 minutes when Fran Kirby wriggled free in the area but her cross was cleared to safety before Rapinoe flashed a shot wide as the game began to open up.

The hosts pushed hard towards the end of the first half, England skipper Lucy Bronze keeping Lindsey Horan away from a cross while keeper Bardsley was on hand to divert a Rapinoe center away from danger.

US midfielder Mallory Pugh then embarked on a dazzling run only to see her effort hit the outside of the post. And she went close two minutes after the restart, forcing Bardsley into another excellent stop.

Neville threw on Barcelona forward Toni Duggan on 51 minutes in the hope of adding some impetus to an attack which was seeing little of the ball.

It was Bardsley though who kept England in the game, this time denying the dangerous Rapinoe from close range following a mistake from captain Bronze.

Duggan curled wide on 57 minutes though just a minute later, the US took the lead with a freakish own goal.

Rapinoe's cross flew into the area and hit Abbie McManus on the back before Millie Bright's attempted clearance missed and the ball diverted in via Bardsley.

England pushed hard in the closing stages and Ellen White hit the post with four minutes left yet the USA held firm.

In the early game, France finished their campaign on a victorious note on Wednesday, defeating Germany 3-0.

Amandine Henry, the French captain, had put her side ahead on 10 minutes, unleashing an unstoppable shot from 20 yards after being teed up by Eugenie Le Sommer.

But disaster struck on 43 minutes when France defender Aissatou Tounkara was stretchered off the field with what looked like a serious leg injury following a clash with Germany's Dzsenifer Marozsan.

France recovered from that setback to double their lead on 55 minutes when Lyon striker Le Sommer expertly headed in Gaetane Thiney's cross from close range.

And on 67 minutes, the lively Le Sommer turned provider, breaking down the right flank before crossing for Valerie Gauvin to side foot home to complete a comprehensive triumph.
