The Lionesses had earned a credible 0-0 draw with Sweden in their first game in Kalmar on Monday, but unfortunately couldn’t build on that result.
Norway 0-3 England
Women's U23 Nordic Tournament
Wednesday 18 June 2014
Kalmar, Sweden
Mo Marley used the two games as a warm-up for the U20 World Cup in Canada which begins in August, so it was a young squad that travelled to Sweden for the fixtures.
And the squad will now return home before joining up again for the World Cup, which begins on 5 August.
England will face opposition from Mexico, Nigeria and Korea Republic in Group C.
