Joey Barton has renewed his attack on England star Mary Earps, insisting he would score '1,000 out of 1,000 penalties' against the Lionesses goalkeeper in his latest tirade against women's football.

The former Man City and Newcastle midfielder has been intensely criticised over the past few months for a series of sexist jibes against women, who he claims 'aren't qualified' to talk about men's football.

His verbal attacks have also extended to the current players, with Earps a regular target.

Speaking on the latest episode of his his Common Sense with Joey Barton podcast, the former Premier League player chastised Earp's performance in Manchester United Women's 3-1 defeat against Arsenal Women's on Saturday.
