The Barcelona full-back was defending a corner at the near post shortly before the hour mark when VAR intervened to check for a possible handball.

And the second decision against Bronze caused plenty of controversy over VAR's decision-making from pundits and fans alike. But perhaps no one was more aggrieved than Bronze's brother, Jorge. Taking to Twitter, the Lionesses' sibling wrote: "Someone is going to have to explain that offside to me?" He followed his initial query with another humorous quip: "Did it not come off her boob?" China star Wang Shuang converted the penalty to draw China back to a 3-1 scoreline, not that the penalty or disallowed goal caused England too much heartache at the final whistle as they cruised to a delightful 6-1 victory. Minutes after Shuang's conversion from the spot, James supplied another sublime finish as she met Jess Carter's cross-pitch pass into the box with a sumptuous volley into the far netting. And while brother Bronze had plenty to say on the matter, he went with the more succinct: "Disallow that you mug" before later writing "VAR Check - yellow card){kind=link}
