Manchester United manager Marc Skinner believes Ella Toone was the victim of an exaggerated reaction after she was sent-off during a dramatic 2-1 win at Spurs.
After a slow first half, the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium burst into life in the last half an hour. United appeared to have seized control through Leah Galton, but Beth England scored a sensational solo effort to draw Spurs level.
In a pulsating finish, Spurs went 2-1 behind only seconds later when Molly Bartrip turned a teasing cross into her own net. In a fiery encounter, Ella Toone was then sent off for hitting out at Eveliina Summanen. United held out with ten players to move back to the top of the Women' Super League.
