Everton midfielder Izzy Christiansen has called for action to address the amount of Women's Super League games lost to bad weather after "a dark weekend" for the women's game. Chelsea's league contest with Liverpool was abandoned by match officials after six minutes due to a frozen pitch on Sunday , while two other fixtures - Brighton vs Arsenal and Tottenham vs Leicester - fell foul to the freezing conditions. Christiansen said a long-term solution is required to avoid a repeat of the "shocking" situation at Kingsmeadow and not damage the momentum and integrity of the game that has been growing exponentially following the Lionesses' Euros success last summer.
