Manchester United 4-1 Everton: Ella Toone scores twice as hosts go fourth in WSL

England international Ella Toone scored twice as Manchester United fought back from conceding an early goal to beat Everton and keep alive their slim hopes of qualifying for next season’s Women’s Champions League.

England goalkeeper Earps was furious with her defenders, but then nearly made a costly error herself as her loose clearance fell to Kathrine Moller Kuhl, who had earlier hit the outside of the post, but she fired over and could not capitalise.

United nearly equalised just before half-time but Geyse’s powerful low strike was well blocked by goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan.

Some fans booed United off at half-time, but they performed much better after the break and scored three times inside an eight-minute period to take complete control.

Millie Turner headed in the first from a right-wing corner, before Toone got two goals. For her first, she fired low into the net from 20 yards and she then finished off following Lisa Naalsund’s bright run after Everton had lost possession in their own half.

Substitute Leah Galton sealed the victory with a low, hard strike into the bottom corner in the final minute.

This result takes United into fourth in the WSL, back above Liverpool, who were beaten 4-1 at home by Manchester City on Saturday.

United are six points behind third-placed Arsenal – who occupy the final Champions League qualifying spot – although the Gunners have played a game fewer.
