Prior to the match, Wembley managers Wright and Chloe Kelly decided to use their wildcard.
They enlisted the help of Watford icon Troy Deeney - but it did not go to plan.
Just minutes into his appearance, Deeney lost his temper and clattered into two opposition players off the ball.
He first crashed into the back of Karim Kamhouri before barging into Tareiq Holmes-Dennis, sparking a melee on the pitch.
