Melvin Mallard was a hero for Manchester United, scoring the winning goal in stoppage time to lift Mark Skinner’s side into second place in the WSL standings.

Elizabeth Terlando gave United the lead just before half-time with her first goal in four games, but Everton thought they had snatched a point when Inma Gabarro headed the ball past Fallon Tallis-Joyce in the 90th minute.
