Manchester United fought hard and finally earned progress to the FA Cup semi-finals, securing a win in East Sussex. Victory came at a price, though, with them losing Lisa Naalsund and Maria Thorisdóttir to injury in a game where Scott Booth’s Championship side battled valiantly in front of a buoyant record crowd of 2,801.
“That was the plan, to make it tough,” Booth said. “We competed every step of the way with them and I’m proud of the players.”
