Carla Ward’s Aston Villa fought back from 1-0 down to draw level and take Marc Skinner’s Manchester United to penalties for the bonus point.
New signing, Nikita Parris gave United a first half lead with a stunning strike from distance. Rachel Daly equalised with a header from Kenza Dali’s free-kick.
Both sides missed twice in the shootout before Maz Pacheco took advantage of Ona Batlle’s miss to earn a bonus point for Villa.
We were fortunate to have photographer Ryan Asman on hand to capture all of the action.
