Millie Turner stepped onto the field as a substitute and stepped off just five minutes later as a hero when her header drove Manchester United to victory and kept their title dreams alive with a 3-2 win.
Manager Marc Skinner said: “We didn’t just get out, we broke out of jail. We do not give up. When your chips are down you have to find different ways to score and we have the ability to do that.”
Rachel Daly gave Aston Villa the lead twice in the game, cancelled out by Leah Galton and Nikita Parris but it was the last-minute goal from a set piece that sent United temporarily seven points clear of reigning champions Chelsea in the Women’s Super League.
