Ex-Liverpool star John Arne Riise slams 'pathetic' Norway after England Euro 2022 demolition

Former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise has slammed Norway's first half display against England at the UEFA 2022 Women's European Championships.

The Lionesses took on Martin Sjogren's side at Brighton's Amex stadium on Monday night and were 6-0 up at the break following a Georgia Stanway penalty, a goal from Lauren Hemp and braces from Ellen White and Beth Mead. It was a significant improvement from their performance in the opening game against Austria last week, they edged past their opponents 1-0 at Old Trafford.

Riise, who made over 100 appearances for Norway during his playing career, didn't hold back during the half-time analysis on BBC Sport.
