Manchester United 1-1 PSG: Substitute Melvine Malard grabs leveller for the Women's Champions League debutants to leave the qualifier in the balance

Manchester United came from behind to keep their Champions League dream alive in an entertaining clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

Melvine Malard, on-loan from PSG’s rivals Lyon, scored her second goal in two games to cancel out Tabitha Chawinga’s opener.

The winners of this second-round qualifying tie will progress to a 16-team group stage, with the return leg in Paris to come next Wednesday.

United boss Marc Skinner admitted there was a nervousness about his team in the first half but praised their character to stay in the game.

‘I felt there was a little bit of trepidation in the first half but in the second half we felt we believed,’ Skinner said.
