England Women manager Mark Sampson has been under fire of late, the subject of two FA investigations regarding alleged racist and bullying behaviour.

However, the manager was given a showing of support by his players after Nikita Parris put the 'Lionesses' ahead in a World Cup qualifier against Russia.

The Manchester City Women's striker ran to the dugout and hugged her manager, who joined in the celebrations reservedly.
