Phil Neville Insists England Have 'Long Way to Go' in Pursuit of World Cup Glory

England beat Scotland 2-1 in the opening game of their 2019 World Cup campaign, but manager Phil Neville was not entirely happy with what he saw from the Lionesses.

Goals from Nikita Parris and Ellen White in the first half gave England victory, as Claire Emslie's second half reply was not enough to earn the Scots a point in the opening game of Group D.

#ENG WIN!

Two goals in the first half give @Lionesses the three points, but @ScotlandNT will take a lot of positives from their #FIFAWWC debut!
