Marc Skinner praises stunning Mary Earps save as Manchester United overcome Chelsea

Manchester United have stormed their way to a maiden Women’s FA Cup victory, with a dominant 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

It took until the stroke of half time for the breakthrough to happen, after an even start to the match. Ella Toone scored a stunning individual curled effort into the top corner, to steer her side into a position they never let go of.

In the second half, United picked up where they left off, with Rachel Williams’ header adding a second, before a catastrophic howler from Rebecca Spencer, who played the ball straight into the path of Lucia Garcia, allowing the United player to add a quickfire third.

From that point, the result was never in doubt, and Garcia added a late fourth to secure the title for Marc Skinner’s side

Slight controversy to discuss at half time, over whether there was a foul in the build up to the goal. VAR is available for this match and it wasn’t looked at, but it’s definitely a big topic of conversation.

WHAT a goal from Ella Toone. Always a player for the big stage, that’s her fourth Wembley goal in seven appearances at the national stadium.

Half time: Before Toone’s strike, the football was lacking a bit of quality in the final third, but the England international always performs on the big occasions and that was a brilliant goal to give her side the crucial advantage going into the second half.
