Marc Skinner hailed Manchester United’s first away win against Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City as “huge” as his side recovered from a second-half slump to end their opponents’ perfect start to the season and draw level with them at the top of the table thanks to a thrilling 3-2 victory.

“It’s huge, there’s no doubt about that,” said a jubilant Skinner. “It’s three points, let’s be very clear, we lost three against Chelsea. I’m not blowing it up. But tonight we decided we did not want to leave this game without showing bravery and personality. When I look at a Manchester United team, famous on the men’s side, it’s about that never-give-up attitude, and we’re going to keep going until the final whistle. Tonight we got a full Manchester United [spirit]. Our job is to bring the women under that same banner: we might go down but we’re never beaten.”
