West Ham saw manager, Paul Konchesky and player, Hawa Cissoko sent off in an ill-tempered 2-1 win at Aston Villa in the Women’s Super League on Saturday afternoon.
A good performance by the visitors was marred by unsavoury scenes in additional time as visiting player, Hawa Cissoko and manager, Paul Konchesky received a red card. It had been the perfect start for Konchesky’s side as they took the lead inside the first two minutes at the Bescot Stadium when Kirsty Smith’s in-swinging corner was headed home by captain Dagny Brynjarsdottir.
Less than 10 minutes later, Honoka Hayashi doubled the Hammers' lead as she slotted her effort beyond Villa goalkeeper Anna Leat. Viviane Asseyi almost made it three before the break as a poor back-pass was picked up by the 28-year-old, however, the angle was too tight as she fired it into the side-netting.
