Ian Wright has jumped to the defence of fellow ITV World Cup pundit Eni Aluko after his colleague was targeted by online trolls over a slip of the tongue while live on air.
Former Chelsea and Juventus star Aluko, who also won more than 100 England caps during her 18-year playing career, is part of the ITV punditry team for the tournament in Qatar, analysing the action from several games alongside the likes of Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Graham Souness, as well as Wright.
However, Aluko was on the receiving end of considerable online criticism after making a mistake live on air ahead of Brazil's 4-1 quarter-final win over South Korea on Monday night.
