Lauren James: Chelsea fans beg Nigerians to forgive England star for stamping on Michelle Alozie

James, a Chelsea star, launched an attack on Super Falcons defender Alozie and stamped her with her boot while she was still on the floor.

The England star was issued a yellow card at first but after the VAR review, the referee decided that her action was deserving of a red card.

Lauren James visited her social media accounts after the game and disabled the comments feature after the incident gained widespread attention.

A Chelsea fan replied to an article shared by Pulse Sports about Lauren James deactivating the comment section on her social media account.

They begged and apologized on her behalf and asked Nigerians to forgive the star player, insisting she was still young and lacked experience.

Timothy Odugbemi commented under the post saying, "Pls forgive her, she's only 21 yrs old, she's just a talented young lady, saddled with a gr8 responsibility.

"She has added another experience to her career today, though I don't support her mistake, as a Chelsea follower I plead on her behalf."

Another Chelsea fan named Honourable Minister said, "I no like wetin she do oo, but as Chelsea fans wey I be, I go apologize give Una."

James won't be available for England's quarter-final match with either Colombia or Jamaica, who haven't yet played.
