    The England international had only been on the pitch for ten minutes before unleashing a powerful effort from 25 yards that flew past goalkeeper Janina Leitzig and into the top-right corner.

    The strike from Toone was the one real bit of quality on show from either side in what was a pretty poor match. Man Utd dominated for large spells but failed to find the net. It was not until Marc Skinner introduced Toone alongside Nikita Parris did the visitors step up the tempo and eventually seal a 1-0 victory.
