England boss Sarina Wiegman labelled the Stadium MK pitch "unacceptable" despite the Lionesses cruising to a win over Korea Republic to kickstart their Arnold Clark Cup campaign.
The tournament hosts produced an impressive display to ease past Korea Republic 4-0, with Lauren James producing a dominant display. Georgia Stanway's penalty had broken the deadlock shortly before half-time, with Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo and James herself adding a fourth towards the end.
England were impressive once Stanway had given them the lead and began to open up the Asian Cup runners-up on a regular basis, creating numerous chances. Although it was close to a perfect night for the European Champions, Wiegman was critical of the Stadium MK pitch, which cut up badly as the game went on.
