Marc Skinner’s Manchester United left the Emirates with three WSL points in what was a huge statement of intent that the Red Devils are ready for their title challenge.
Frida Maanum’s heavily deflected goal early in the second half made it honours even after Ella Toone had put the visitors ahead just before half time.
Laura Wienroither’s volley from a perfectly weighted Katie McCabe cross gave the home team the lead and looked to have broken United’s hearts.
At least it did until Millie Turner’s header from Katie Zelem’s free-kick thundered in off the crossbar to level up with five minutes of normal time left to play. Step up Alessia Russo. Zelem was again on hand to deliver the ball from a corner and Russo nodded in to win the match with a stoppage-time goal.
We were fortunate to have Toju Bello on hand to capture the action.
