The entire Manchester United team can hold their heads high after yesterday’s performance at Wembley. They lost 1-0 to reigning champions Chelsea who kept the Vitality Women's FA Cup silverware in blue for the third year in a row, the fifth time overall, but they didn't give up without a fight.
As cliché as it sounds, it was a game of two halves. United dominated the first 45 while the Blues took charge of the second, and essentially it all came down to Sam Kerr slotting home the winner - who else?
The Australian timed her run perfectly, in the blind spot of Maya Le Tissier, to meet Pernille Harder’s cross. It was too close for Mary Earps to do anything about it and so tucked the ball just inside the near post, meaning heartache for the Reds.
