Ella Toone will be eligible for the next three club fixtures after Man Utd successfully won an appeal following her red card at Tottenham.
United won 2-1 in London to return to the top of the table, but had to survive a nervy finale after Toone was shown a straight red following a tangle with Spurs' Eveliina Summanen. But the England international will now be eligible for a run of games after the international break, following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal from her club to the FA.
With ten minutes left to play Toone appeared to hit out at Summanen during a scramble on the ground, leading to a straight red card. However, Summanen did appear to make the most of minimal contact and United manager Marc Skinner said after the game he felt that Toone had been the victim of "play acting."
