Tottenham's Eveliina Summanen handed ban over incident involving Manchester United's Ella Toone

Tottenham midfielder Eveliina Summanen has been handed a two-match ban after an altercation with Manchester United's Ella Toone in the Women's Super League.

Spurs lost 2-1 in the contest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 12, making it seven defeats in a row for Rehanne Skinner's side, although the most controversial moment of the game came when Summanen and Toone clashed in the 80th minute. As the pair tussled on the ground, Toone appeared to hit out at Summanen, who proceeded to cover her face with her hands.

The 23-year-old was subsequently shown a red card; a decision that was contested by United boss Marc Skinner, who slammed Summanen for "play-acting" and confirmed the club would look to overturn Toone's suspension. The FA announced earlier this month United had been successful in their appeal, while the Tottenham star had been charged for deceiving referee Amy Fearn.
