Tottenham's Eveliina Summanen is banned for two games for deceiving a referee after she held her face to get Manchester United star Ella Toone sent off in WSL match

Tottenham's Eveliina Summanen has been banned for two matches for 'successful deception of a match official' after an incident involving Manchester United star Ella Toone.

The Finland international midfielder, 24, was found by the Football Association to have committed a clear act of simulation which resulted in Toone being sent off in Tottenham's 2-1 Women's Super League defeat to United on February 12.

Toone, who has had her red card rescinded, pushed Summanen in the shoulder in reaction to a previous challenge.

The Tottenham player, who was on the floor when the challenge occurred, proceeded to hold her face despite there being no contact.
