Manchester City forward Georgia Stanway apologised for her sending off in the Women Super League's Manchester derby on Saturday but revealed she's been subjected to 'abusive messages' on social media following the incident.
The 22-year-old was shown a straight red for a nasty challenge on Leah Galton 35 minutes into the contest.
As Galton controlled the ball with her left foot and looked to skip past Stanway, the England international completely mistimed her challenge and planted her studs onto the United forward's thigh.
