ALEX GREENWOOD suffered a horror head injury in the dying stages of the Women's World Cup final.

The Manchester City defender took a brutal knee to the temple in the 80th minute of the Sydney showdown in a challenge with Salma Paralluelo.

Greenwood appeared to be in a world of pain as she collapsed to the ground and promptly received treatment.

And she appeared to suffer a nasty cut on her head as England's medical team strapped her up with a headband.

Greenwood had to change her top after being given the all-clear to carry on due to the blood which poured on it.

And she wasted no time getting stuck back in and desperately trying to help the Lionesses bag an equaliser.

Euro 2022 winners England fell a goal behind just before the half-hour mark thanks to a strike from Real Madrid's Olga Carmona.

They could have gone 2-0 down in the 70th minute when the Spanish were awarded a penalty due to a handball from Keira Walsh.

But a super save from Mary Earps kept Sarina Wiegman's troops in the truly pulsating match.
