'I am sorry for what happened' - Lauren James apologizes to Alozie after stamping Falcons forward

Lioness star, Lauren James has apologized for the red card she received in the round of 16 tie against Nigeria on Monday, August 8.

Recall the Chelsea star received a straight red card for stamping forward Michelle Alozie following a challenge between the pair.

In a tweet on Tuesday, August 8, she said: "All my love and respect to you. I am sorry for what happened.

"Also, for our England fans and my teammates, playing with and for you is my greatest honor and I promise to learn from my experience."

James, who had previously cut herself England's inimitable creative force following a wonder goal against Denmark before starring in the 6-1 rout of China, petulantly stood on the back of her opponent after getting to her feet.

The moment of frustration epitomized a match in which James had been cleverly marked out of by the Super Falcons and England struggled to impart any of their expected dominance.

After initially receiving a yellow card for her actions, a swift VAR consultation resulted in an inevitable red for the forward.

All my love and respect to you. I am sorry for what happened.

Also, for our England fans and my team-mates, playing with and for you is my greatest honour and I promise to learn from my experience. https://t.co/Vi4hBIewiS
