Gareth Taylor’s side came from a goal down to earn a famous 3-1 victory at Old Trafford and leapfrog Marc Skinner’s side to third in the Barclays Women’s Super League table.
Although we created the clearest cut chances in the opening exchanges, the hosts took the lead through Katie Zelem’s penalty.
However, quickfire goals from Jill Roord and Lauren Hemp overturned the deficit and handed us the derby advantage before half-time.
