With the ball just inside Man City’s half, Greenwood took around 25 seconds to find the pass.
But just as she went to take the kick, referee Emily Heaslip blew her whistle before giving the England Lioness a second yellow.
Greenwood, who stood still in disbelief, did not receive a warning prior to her dismissal.
