Charlotte Harpur and Chloe Morgan are with Sophie Penney to react to Manchester City’s captain being sent off after just 38 minutes for taking ‘too long’ over a free kick.
After that moment the floodgates opened: 11 cards were handed out, the most of any WSL game. With two sendings off that’s now four red cards in two weekends, half of last season’s total.
