Was the match abandoned? The last two send offs appear to have happened in stoppage time. Did the match immediately end after the final one?

This actually is not correct. There is no rule anywhere in the Laws of the Game that tells what the final score would be in this case. Once one of the teams is unable to field 7 players, the match is abandoned and the result is left up to the competition committee (in this case the FA) to decide to the result. It is not set in stone that it has to be 2-0, 3-0, or any other score. The decisions are made on an individual basis by the competition's governing body.
IRL, i'd imagine the FA would allow that scoreline to stand, since the final sending off occurred so late in the match.
