England fans have nightmares of Ronaldinho lob against David Seaman after Colombia goal against Lionesses
Colombia gave England fans flashbacks to Ronaldinho's lob on David Seaman as they went ahead against the Lionesses at the Women's World Cup.
Sarina Wiegman's side conceded just before half-time thanks to a stunning effort from Leicy Santos, with the Colombia star sending in a looped cross turned shot from the edge of the box.

Earps couldn't get a hand on the effort and watched it sail over her head, and England fans immediately compared it to Brazil legend Ronaldinho's free-kick in 2002.
The Brazil star left England goalkeeper Seaman helpless, with Santos and Earps producing almost a carbon copy of what happened 21 years ago down under.
"It's Ronaldinho and Seaman all over again!" one fan wrote on Twitter.
"That's a David Seaman moment," another supporter said.

A third added: "The Santos goal made me think of Ronaldinho vs Seaman. Looked like for a second Earps wasnt sure whether to come for a cross or a shot."
But just as the Lionesses thought they'd go in to halftime at the quarter-finals behind, Lauren Hemp capitalised on some slopping defending from the South Americans.
Colombia's goalkeeper was in the spotlight this time, with Catalina Perez spilling the ball twice, with the Lionesses present in the box snatching the opportunity to equalise.
Man City star Hemp tapped in from close range, pulling her side back level and keeping their World Cup hopes alive.
