Hope Powell has branded the abandonment of Sunday's WSL clash between Chelsea and Liverpool "embarrassing" and condemned the decision not to call off the match before kick-off.
Sunday's league fixture between the reigning champions and the Reds descended into chaos less than 10 minutes after kick-off as referee Paul Howard stopped the match after concluding the frozen surface at the Kingsmeadow posed too dangerous a threat to player safety.
Players slipped precariously across the pitch throughout the opening exchanges, with Chelsea's Erin Cuthbert and Niamh Charles slamming hard onto the frozen surface on respective forays forward.
