Karen Bardsley will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect after she admitted a charge of violent conduct following an on-field incident which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

The breach of FA Rule E3 was in relation to an incident involving the Manchester City WFC goalkeeper and Birmingham City LFC’s Freda Ayisi which occurred in the 45th minute of Sunday’s game. 

Ayisi was dismissed at the time for her part in the incident.
