Aston Villa will remain in the Conti Cup despite being handed a three-point deduction by the FA after fielding an illegible player during their 7-0 win over Sunderland meaning that Manchester United will fail to advance.

Villa brought on Noelle Maritz as a substitute in the second-half. Maritz, who joined the club in January, played for Arsenal three times in the cup this season, contrary to competition rules.

In a statement, the FA said:

An independent tribunal have deducted three points from Aston Villa for fielding an ineligible player during their FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup group stage fixture against Sunderland on Wednesday 24 January 2024.

The FA alleged that the player was ineligible for this game, as she had previously featured in the competition for her former club, which constitutes a breach of Cup Rule 8.19. Aston Villa admitted this charge and acknowledged the breach had occurred. The independent tribunal ordered that the points deducted from Aston Villa be awarded to their opponents Sunderland, while the 7-0 scoreline is to be expunged from the record.

As a result, Sunderland will finish as Group A Winners, with Aston Villa progressing to the quarter-finals as one of the two best-placed runners-up alongside Tottenham Hotspur.

With Villa and Sunderland now progressing, Manchester United will no longer advance as one of the best second-placed sides. In a statement, United said:

We are very disappointed with this outcome, and do not understand its rationale. We feel that it undermines the integrity of the competition, and of the women’s game. We are considering our options in response.
