Georgia Stanway: Manchester City forward suffers abuse after red card against Manchester United
Manchester City forward Georgia Stanway says she received abuse after being sent off in the WSL game against rivals Manchester United.
The England international, 22, was dismissed after 35 minutes for a poorly timed challenge on Leah Galton.
Stanway wrote on Twitter: "I should not have to log into social media and find myself subjected to abusive messages - remember we are all human.
"There was no malice intended and I'm glad Leah was OK and able to carry on."
