Cameroon tempers flare as VAR causes more controversy at Women's World Cup

England’s World Cup round of 16 clash with Cameroon descended into chaos on Sunday after two VAR decisions went against the African side.

With the game poised at 2-0 to the Lionesses, some Cameroon players could be seen in tears after Ajara Nchout's goal early in the second-half was ruled out for an offside in the build-up.

Gabrielle Onguene was deemed to be in an offside position when she was played in, and the VAR team’s intervention was met with fury and frustration on the Cameroon bench.
