Karen Carney returns to the screen as a pundit for Match of the Day 2 after deleting her Twitter profile due to sexist abuse sparked by Leeds' account mocking her analysis

Karen Carney has returned to the screen as a pundit following the vile sexist abuse she received online.

She appeared on Sunday's Match of the Day 2 show alongside presenter Mark Chapman and fellow pundit Danny Murphy to analyse the day's Premier League games.

Carney made a comment on Amazon Prime during Leeds' 5-0 win against West Bromwich Albion, suggesting the break in last year's Championship campaign due to Covid-19 helped get the side promoted.

The ex-Arsenal, Chelsea and Birmingham star stated that Leeds' high-octane high-pressing style of play was benefited by the enforced break to the season, which allowed Whites players valuable rest and recovery time.
