Manchester City went down to 10 in the Women's Super League Manchester derby after a reckless challenge from Georgia Stanway.

Stanway was given a straight red for a thigh-high, studs-up challenge on Leah Galton 10 minutes before the break.

The England international completely mistimed the challenge and went in studs up, hitting Galton just below the quad.

The nasty tackle was a clear red which even Stanway herself couldn't dispute and the referee had no option to send the 22-year-old off.
