Mary Earps believes Joey Barton's sexist views reveal 'what people across the country think' with the England and Man United keeper one of his targets after she won BBC prize

England goalkeeper Mary Earps believes the sexist views espoused by Joey Barton are sadly 'reflective of society'.

Barton has been widely condemned - including by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - for his attacks on female football pundits, which included comparing ITV's Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward to serial killers Fred and Rose West.

The former Manchester City and Newcastle midfielder has also attacked Earps after she won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

Barton claimed he would score '100 out of 100 penalties' against the Lionesses and Manchester United goalkeeper, saying her award success was 'more f**king nonsense.
