Man Utd & Lionesses star Ella Toone receives apology from commentator for controversial remark following WSL investigation

Liverpool FC Women

Manchester United Women

<p>The commentator in question <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wsl-chiefs-launch-investigation-commentator-remark-lionesses-star-ella-toone-man-utd-draw-arsenal/blt2cb49e159ab86cfd" target="_blank">made a controversial comment about the attacking midfielder</a> as she was substituted off during her team's Women's Super League match against Arsenal in early November. The WSL reportedly launched an investigation into the matter.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 25-year-old has since received an apology from the commentator, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14101231/man-united-confidential-Branthwaite-amorim-stars-rush-back.html" target="_blank"><em>The Daily Mail</em></a> reports, while the WSL bosses have also reached out to her. Toone is said to have accepted the apology and the case is considered closed.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The controversy erupted after the commentator had said that Toone had "a face like a smacked bum" as she was taken off while United were trailing 1-0, though they went on to secure a 1-1 draw. His remark caught attention on social media, convincing the authorities to take a look.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With the matter behind her, Toone will have attention on her team's next match. United remain unbeaten in the WSL so far this season, but they sit six points behind leaders Chelsea after drawing three matches in a row. They will hope to cut the gap on the reigning champions when they go head-to-head on Sunday.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR TOONE?
