Lioness Lauren James, 21, sent off following 'Beckhamesque' foul against Nigeria, is the sister of Chelsea's Reece James and was trained by UEFA-qualified coach father Nigel

Already dubbed the Lioness's top golden girl, Lauren James has been the name on everyone's lips after emerging as England's leading goal scorer in the Women's World Cup so far.

Her show-stopping performance against China earlier this month saw England clinch a 6-1 Women's World Cup win over their opponents, with the star striker contributing two goals.

However the 21-year-old forward and younger sister to Chelsea star Reece James, both originally from Mortlake in London, has made history today for a somewhat less magnificent act.

England's sweetheart stunned fans when she was sent off for stamping on the back of rival player Michelle Alozie during England's round 16 clash with Nigeria.
