Joey Barton has sparked fresh outrage after blasting the Lionesses just moments after their nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Spain in the Euros Final.
The outspoken ex-Premier League footballer took to social media following the historic win to call the competition the 'Nonsense Pottery Trophy', before slamming the standard of the match and warning England's stars: 'Don't ever ask for equal pay again. Youse are miles off it.'
Barton's post came after the Lionesses defeated World Cup winners Spain in a dramatic 3-1 penalty shootout, following a gruelling 120 minutes of play that ended 1-1 in Basel, Switzerland.
He then turned his ire toward Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who had posted a glowing tribute to the Lionesses on X, writing: 'The @Lionesses have changed the game - breaking barriers, making history and inspiring the next generation.
'Tonight, the whole nation will be behind them. Come on England!'
