Chelsea full-back Reece James has responded to his sister Lauren’s impressive performance at the Women’s World Cup, where she scored two goals and provided three assists in England’s victory against China.
The only goal she wasn’t involved in was the last, which was scored by Lauren Coombes and Rachel Daly.
Unfortunately, Lauren James was denied a World Cup hat-trick due to an offside decision confirmed by VAR.
Reece kept it short and sweet, reposting a post uploaded his sister to his Instagram story, simply adding to it, saying: “Another day @ the office,” with two football emojis as well as three capital A’s, symbolising his sister’s hat-trick of assists.
England’s victory was never in doubt, as they secured a comfortable lead with first-half goals from Alessia Russo, Lauren Hemp, and a goal from James.
The impressive 3-0 victory allowed the Lionesses to clinch the top spot in Group D with a flawless 100% record, a feat shared only with Japan in the tournament.
Sweden and Colombia also have the opportunity to finish their group stages with three wins out of three, should they emerge victorious in their final matches.
As the opening day game between Chelsea and Liverpool approaches, Reece James will undoubtedly focus on his preparations with Chelsea.
However, it’s clear that his attention will also be partly on the Lionesses and his sister’s performance at the Women’s World Cup.
