Goals from lifelong fans Alessia Russo and Katie Zelem helped Manchester United to come from behind and defeat Everton 3-1 in front of a club‑record crowd of 20,241 at Old Trafford for a Women’s Super League match.
The United manager, Marc Skinner, said: “I tried to speak to Zel afterwards because it’s a whirlwind, but for her to score a penalty at the Stretford End and then for Alessia to score [there] as well? I mean, she’s probably had a million dreams of that happening and what a wonderful way to seal a dream.
