Lip-reading Women’s World Cup fans convinced they spotted X-rated blast from England star Mary Earps after penalty save
WOMEN'S WORLD CUP fans are convinced they spotted an X-rated blast from Mary Earps during the final.
The England goalkeeper was seen shouting after saving Jennifer Hermoso's penalty.
Earps dived to her left to hold Hermoso's tame effort after a VAR review punished Keira Walsh's handball.
As she held the ball after the save, Earps gestured for her team-mates to get up the pitch.
Whilst throwing her arm up, she appeared to shout "f*** off", with the moment spotted by eagle-eyed viewers.
Presenter Greg James reacted to Earps' blast by tweeting a video of the incident and writing: "This is the best F*** OFFFFFFF ever recorded."

Despite Earps' heroics, England fell to a 1-0 defeat to Spain in their first-ever Women's World Cup final.
Left-back Olga Carmona's first half strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
