Aoife Mannion completes memorable week by featuring in first competitive game for Manchester United in a year
Ruesha Littlejohn also remained on the bench on Sunday, from where she saw her Aston Villa side beat West Ham 7-6 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, Izzy Atkinson having made an impact for the London club when she came on to create their equaliser in injury time.
On the downside, Katie McCabe had, once again, a close-up look at how useful a player Sam Kerr is, the Australian marking her 100th appearance for Chelsea with, remarkably, her 82nd goal for the club in their 2-0 win over their London rivals. The one consolation for McCabe is that she at least started the game, having been dropped to the bench of late, although her versatility must become dizzying for the Dubliner at times — she started on the right side of the front three, and finished at left-back.
And Donegal’s Ciara Grant sent Hearts on their way to a penalty shoot-out win over Edinburgh neighbours Hibs in the Capital Cup, converting the first of their spot-kicks after a 1-1 draw in front of a meaty crowd of 7,024.
