‘She’s the best player in the world’ - Neville praises Bronze after quarter-final display against Norway

Phil Neville has heaped praise on to England right-back Lucy Bronze after her player-of-the-match display against Norway in the Women’s World Cup quarter-final.

The Lionesses won the clash in Le Havre 3-0, with Bronze playing a huge part in all three goals.

It was her dribble and cross in the third minute that fell so perfectly for Jill Scott to tap in the game’s opener, while later in the half it was Bronze’s ball to Nikita Parris that found the winger with time and space from which she centred the ball to the waiting Ellen White for a simple tap-in.
