BREAKING: Lionesses given helping hand as VAR intervenes with huge Euro 2025 decision vs Wales

There was VAR drama early on in England's Euro 2025 group game against Wales, with the Lionesses awarded a penalty after a lengthy check. Referee Frida Klarlund initially awarded a free-kick after Georgia Stanway was fouled by Carrie Jones, but ultimately pointed to the spot after the foul was ruled to have taken place inside the box.

Stanway put away the penalty herself to give England the lead. It was just what Sarina Wiegman's team needed to settle early nerves in a game which they went into knowing only a win would guarantee their progress to the quarter-finals of Euro 2025.

Speaking on BBC Radio Cymru, former Wales skipper Kath Morgan wasn't convinced. "It's really close but my first instinct is that it's out of the box. It's definitely not a 'clear and obvious' error," Morgan said.
