Tottenham's Eveliina Summanen has been suspended for two games after a hearing found she had committed "successful deception of a match official".

The hearing related to an incident in Spurs' 2-1 loss to Manchester United on 12 February when Summanen held her face as if struck by United's Ella Toone.

Toone was sent off, though a two-match suspension has been overturned.

Midfielder Summanen will miss an FA Cup tie against Reading on 26 February and WSL game at Manchester City on 5 March.

The 24-year-old had denied the charge but it was upheld by a Football Association independent regulatory commission.
