Nikita Parris warned her Man United teammates must be "more ruthless" after her side avoided a potential FA Cup banana skin at Sunderland.
United are in the hat for the last 16 after Parris scored twice in a 2-1 away victory at the Championship side. But Sunderland ensured United didn't have an easy afternoon at the office and threatened extra-time when Gabby Holmes' header levelled the tie.
The WSL leaders had plenty of chances but were wasteful in front of goal against the second-tier defence. But Parris proved the difference. The England forward scored her second goal of the afternoon with an emphatic finish in the 69th minute that settled the tie.
