England rounded off 2017 with their second goalless draw in a week against one of world football's powerhouses thanks to another impressive defensive display as they held 2014 World Cup semi finalists Brazil.
It was a game which featured minimal chances for either side, with the Three Lions struggling to create anything that seriously troubled the South Americans, but also showed the solid foundation needed to keep Canarinho at bay.
It was a clash that arguably did not live up to expectations, but will be one that is considered another step in the right direction for the hosts, as their youngsters showed once again they are able to mix it with the best - leaving boss Gareth Southgate plenty to ponder as they now head into the New Year.
