Man Utd Women beat Everton in historic first Old Trafford game in front of record crowd

Manchester United defeated Everton 3-1 in the Women's Super League (WSL) on Sunday afternoon and made history in the first game the Red Devils have played in front of fans at Old Trafford.

Marc Skinner's side faced West Ham at Old Trafford in March 2021, yet spectators were not allowed to attend due to Covid restrictions. United's CEO Richard Arnold and director of football John Murtough both watched the 3-1 triumph on Sunday where 20,421 were in attendance - the highest crowd in the WSL this season.

Everton's Claire Emslie opened the scoring early on before Alessia Russo leapt above the defence to equalise in the 34th minute. A penalty from Katie Zelem made it 2-1 to the hosts shortly after the break, with Russo completing her brace six minutes from time.
