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.

Was Greenwood time wasting? Why are referees cracking down on this? And do the rules work for the specifics of the women’s game?

Produced by Sophie Penney.

Executive Producer: Abi Paterson
