It was a record attendance for a women's game at the Etihad today and the Manchester derby did not disappoint.
Gareth Taylor’s side looked more lethal in the second half as they pulled the game back onto level terms by the hour mark to the relief of adoring fans in the crowd of over 44,000 at the Etihad Stadium, and ending the game a 1-1 draw.
The visitors had the early lead when Leah Galton slotted the ball off Alex Greenwood's legs into the bottom left corner, and past a flailing Ellie Roebuck. But the game returned to a stalemate after Laura Coombs scored from a free header in the middle of United’s box.
