Mary Earps fumes at Lionesses teammates as England concede to Spain in Women’s World Cup final

England goalkeeper Mary Earps was visibly furious with her defence as the Lionesses conceded in the World Cup final.

Spain found themselves in front thanks to Olga Carmona’s goal just before the half hour mark, pouncing on England’s defenders being out of position.

After Real Madrid star Carmona slotted it into the bottom corner, Earps immediately shouted at her defenders, clearly unhappy with the cover they had offered.

“Absolutely brilliant goal. Absolutely great switch ball, Bronze was out of position,” talkSPORT’s co-commentator and former England striker Lianne Sanderson said.

“She was asking for options, it allowed them to find the spare player. Russo was trying to cover. Absolutely fantastic strike. Earps was telling them ‘we need to get tighter’.”
