Sonia Bompastor criticised Mary Earps for a lack of respect for comments made about her player Hannah Hampton and the England manager, Sarina Wiegman, after the Chelsea manager watched her goalkeeper keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over London City Lionesses.
The buildup to Chelsea’s industrious Women’s Super League victory had been overshadowed by the revelations made by the former England No 1 in extracts of the book published in the Guardian on Friday night. Earps, who retired from international football before the summer’s European Championship, described a breakdown in the relationship between the two goalkeepers and with the Lionesses’ manager, which led to her telling Wiegman that she was rewarding “bad behaviour” by recalling Hampton.
