(Reuters) -Leeds United condemned online abuse of former England women's international Karen Carney on Wednesday after the Premier League club's own Twitter account singled her out for a comment made as a television pundit.

Carney had suggested on Amazon Prime during Leeds' 5-0 win at West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday that last season's COVID-19 shutdown had helped Leeds secure promotion.
