England have gone 1-0 up against Scotland in the Women’s World Cup today as Nikita Parris thumped home an emphatic penalty.
However, there was a long look at VAR before the spot kick was finally given, with what looked a very harshly awarded handball call by the referee.
New handball laws do make it harder for defenders as any contact is now deemed a foul, regardless of intent.
Still, Parris made no mistake from the spot with a superb finish, and England won’t be too bothered about the decision now that they’re a goal ahead.
