Everton boss Brian Sorensen said he was "really proud" of his side after they held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw in the Women's Super League.
The Blues travelled to Leigh Sports Village looking to put a dent in United's title hopes, with Marc Skinner's side having lost just one game all season. The Red Devils notched an emphatic victory in the reverse fixture at Walton Hall Park in October but it was a different story on Sunday afternoon; Everton travelling back down the M62 with a huge point that further consolidates their place in the top half of the table.
Although United largely dominated the contest, with England international Ella Toone hiting the post and Lucia Garcia firing inches over the bar, the Everton boss was delighted with his side's defensive resilience and believes the performance demonstrates the vast progress they have made this term.
