England Women made it through to the World Cup quarter-finals after beating Cameroon 3-0 on Sunday in a match littered with VAR controversy.
England took an early lead through Steph Houghton after she was teed up by Toni Duggan from an indirect free-kick inside the box following a Cameroon backpass (14), before Ellen White slotted home her fourth of the tournament after a VAR review (45+3). The review, nonetheless, bizarrely left Cameroon's players furious having seen Duggan in an offside position on the stadium screen, despite not interfering with play.
There was more VAR controversy after the break when Ajara Nchout looked to have halved the deficit (48), but it was disallowed for a marginal offside, which caused more anger among the Cameroon players and reduced Nchout to tears.
Alex Greenwood then made it 3-0 with a cute finish from a clever Duggan corner (58), and there was time for even more late controversy as Alexandra Takounda Engolo escaped with just a yellow card, despite an on-pitch VAR review, for a wretched late challenge on Houghton in stoppage time.
The win means England set up a quarter-final clash with Norway on Thursday at 8pm in Le Havre.
