Manchester United may see their Continental Cup run as a missed opportunity as their 4-2 win over Everton showed they could have a squad capable of challenging on multiple fronts.
In a busy first half, the hosts found themselves 4-0 up after just 27 minutes with Vilde Boe Risa netting two either side of Rachel Williams' strike after 12 minutes. Jess Park gave the visitors hope but it was shortlived as Jade Moore extended United's lead and allowed them to control the game with Karen Holmgaard's injury-time goal nothing more than a consolation.
Within the first minute of play, Boe Risa headed the ball in the back of the net, it came from another Ona Batlle cross on the right flank to start the game in United’s favour. Williams found the net minutes later after Lucia Garcia pulled back a low ball for the 34-year-old to place it out of goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan’s reach.
