"A claim of clearly insufficient punishment has been submitted against Crystal Palace FC Women's Ruesha Littlejohn. "The player was sent off around the 58th minute for violent conduct, and the standard punishment is a three-match ban, but it's claimed that this penalty is clearly insufficient.""
"Littlejohn, 35, appeared to grab her opponent around the neck before throwing her to the ground during Palace's 3-0 win in the League Cup on Sunday."
Ruesha Littlejohn was sent off around the 58th minute for violent conduct after an incident in which she appeared to grab and throw an opponent during Crystal Palace's 3-0 League Cup win. The standard punishment for a red card for violent conduct is a three-match ban. The Football Association has submitted a claim that the standard penalty is clearly insufficient and may seek an increased sanction if the dismissal is judged "truly exceptional." The case will be considered by a regulatory commission, which will set a new punishment if the claim succeeds. Littlejohn has until Thursday to respond.
