BBC commentator aims dig at Lord Sugar as England run riot vs Norway at Euro 2022

A BBC commentator has taken at swipe at Lord Sugar for his "symbolic men" comment during England's win over Norway.

The success was a record margin of victory for a team at the European Championship as the Lionesses continue their push for a first tournament success. But with the game close to half-time and England six goals to the good the commentator chose to address a comment made by Sugar on social media earlier this week.

The former Tottenham owner and businessman took aim at what he thought was a lack of diversity on the broadcast team at the weekend. He tweeted: "I am watching the women football and notice that ALL the commentators are women. I also note when mens football is on there is a symbolic female commentator to cover the broadcasters a***. Should I complain there should me a male commentator in women's football."
