Crystal Palace's memorable 1-0 victory against Everton on their return to the top flight is now under scrutiny. The win, celebrated by Jo Potter and her players, could be jeopardised following a reported breach of substitution rules.
WSL Football revealed on Sunday evening that Crystal Palace reportedly used four different substitute windows during the match, exceeding the regulated three. This error was reportedly not identified by either the coaching staff or the match officials at the time.
An investigation has been launched, with potential punishments to be decided. There is a possibility that the result of the match could be overturned, casting a shadow over Lexi Lloyd-Smith's winning goal on her WSL debut.
