West Ham United Women 's star Hawa Cissoko will miss a total of five matches after hitting Aston Villa's Sarah Mayling in the face during a Women's Super League clash last month.
The Hammers secured a 2-1 victory at the Poundland Bescot stadium however the performance was marred by unsavoury scenes towards the end of the game. A confrontation between Mayling and Cissoko resulted in the latter striking her opponent in the face.
Cissoko was promptly sent off and the melee continued in the dugout with West Ham boss Paul Konchesky also dismissed. Both clubs have also been fined £1,000 by Football Association for breaching FA Rule E20 and failing to ensure that their players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
