West Ham United Women's duo of manager Paul Konchesky and defender Hawa Cissoko have been fined by the FA, with the latter receiving a further two-match ban, for their respective involvement during the ugly scenes that occurred in the latter stages of the Hammers' 2-1 away victory in the WSL on Saturday, 15 October 2022.
The Irons' first away victory of the 2022/23 WSL campaign against Carla Ward's side will be remembered in the wrong way for what happened during the closing stages of proceedings. France international Cissoko was dragged by Sarah Maylng who tried to prevent a late counter-attack from the away team on the day.
Cissoko then got into an altercation with Mayling before the defender quickly appeared to strike her opponent in the face. It was an incident that led to the 25-year-old being sent off and manager Konchesky followed suit after he admitted to trying to 'protect' his player when she was walking off the pitch.
