Aston Villa's Rachel Daly hit the ground running on the opening weekend of the WSL season but Manchester United hit back for a dramatic late win.

  • Daly slots past England team-mate
  • Puts Villa ahead despite red
  • United hit back for late win

WHAT HAPPENED? Villa were down to 10 following Kirsty Hanson's 74th-minute dismissal but made light of that setback, breaking down the right wing where Adriana Leon crossed for Daly to power the home side into the lead.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Daly and Villa's joy was short-lived however as Lucia Garcia lashed in an equaliser minutes later, before substitute Rachel Williams headed an injury-time winner for the Red Devils.

WHAT NEXT FOR ASTON VILLA? Daly and Villa will get a chance to put today's disappointment behind them when they visit Liverpool next Sunday
