Piers Morgan has issued a brutal challenge to Joey Barton live on Talk TV after his criticism of Mary Earps.

The England goalkeeper won the Sports Personality of the Year the award on Tuesday evening following her starring role in the Lionesses' run to the Women's World Cup final where she famously saved a penalty in their 1-0 defeat to Spain.

The 30-year-old, who also won the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper at the tournament, beca,e the second female footballer in succession to be named SPOTY, following on from fellow Lionesses and Arsenal forward Beth Mead.

However, Joey Barton boldly suggested that he would score 100 out of 100 penalties against her.

Taking to Twitter earlier on Wednesday, the Englishman wrote: "I’d score 100 out of 100 penalties against Mary Earps.

"Any day of the week. Twice on a f***ing Sunday."

Referencing the former Manchester City midfielder's comments on Talk TV, Morgan challenged Barton to follow through on his promise and put money on the line.

"Here's my challenge to Joey Barton," said Morgan. "You do that. Let's set that up. Take 100 penalties against her and for every one you miss, you give £100,000 to a charity of our choice. £100,000 per missed penalty.

"I reckon you'd be down a few million because she's a good goalkeeper! He was also personally abusive and said that she was a sack of spuds.

"She's obviously a great athlete, she's supremely fit, she's at the top of her game, playing in World Cup finals and so on.

"So that kind of abuse is completely unacceptable, we can all agree on that."
