After Maguire was introduced into the game at halftime and managed to score an own goal 22 minutes later.
The under pressure defender was the target of several comments from spectators and pundits, which England manager Gareth Southgate was eager to dispute.
Her post on Instagram story read:
“As a mum, seeing the level of negative and abusive comments in which is receiving from some fans, pundits and the media is disgraceful and totally unacceptable to any walk of life never mind someone who works his socks off for club and country”.
“I was there in the stands as usual, it’s not acceptable what’s been created over nothing”.
“I understand that in world of football there are ups and downs, positive and negatives but what Harry receives has gone far beyond football”.
“For me seeing him go through what’s he’s going through is not ok. I’d hate to have to see other parents or players go through this in future, especially young boys and girls breaking through the ranks today”.
“Harry has a massive heart and it’s a good job he’s mentally strong and can handle it as others may not be able too”.
“I wish this sort of abuse on nobody”.
