Controversial Premier League star Joey Barton slams Sam Kerr's skills in yet another sexist attack on women's football

Former Manchester City and Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has launched another sexist attack on the Women's Super League, this time roping in Australian skipper Sam Kerr.

Barton has been lashed for a series of sexist social media posts in recent weeks, even attracting the attention of UK Sports Minister Stuart Andrew who has pledged to pressure social media companies to block sexist content.

Barton has come under fire for social media posts that claim that women 'aren't qualified' to discuss men's football.

His most recent offensive comment was targeted at ex-Chelsea and England star Eniola Aluko and Lucy Ward, a former player turned commentator.
