Hayes was furious with her opposite number Eidevall after the game and shoved into the Arsenal boss as they went to shake hands.
Speaking after the match, Hayes slammed Eidevall for his 'male aggression and fronting up to players'.

Barton replied to Hayes' remarks, posting on X: "Emma's right.
"Male aggression should be in male game. Female aggression in female game. Only way to sort it."
When asked later by one of his followers for his opinion on Hayes' shove on Eidevall, he added: "Nothing to do with me."
Another used asked whether his original comment meant he thought 'all male managers in the women's game' should be sacked.
