Women's football and the gender pay gap in sport - Sky Sports' Sidelines podcast

'Day job? I can't imagine Mo Salah doing that!'; 'All we're asking for is that players can live off the wages they're given'

The North London derby is being played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday

Gender equality and the pay gap in sport are the hot topics on the latest edition of Sky Sports' Sidelines podcast.

Ex-pro footballer Rosie Kmita joins hosts Martha and Zuu to talk about her journey in football from a young age and how she eventually won over those who told her: "You can't play because you're a girl".

The latest podcast shines a light on investment in women's football and sparks a lively debate over inequalities across the game:

"I've heard of women who play football professionally having day jobs as well."

"I can't imagine Mo Salah doing that!"

"All we're asking for is that players can live off the wages that they're given, especially for teams in the bottom half of the Women's Super League."
