HAWA CISSOKO has received a fine and five-match ban after being sent off during a West Ham duel with Aston Villa.
The Irons centre-back was given her marching orders after clashing with Villa defender Sarah Mayling during a WSL fixture.
Cissoko was shown a red card for appearing to strike Mayling after the pair began pushing each other following a duel for the ball.
Moments later this led to a heated confrontation between staff from the benches of both clubs.
This occurred as Cissoko was making her way off the pitch at Villa’s Bescot Stadium home.
