United’s Lauren James, Katie Zelem and Amy Turner scored the decisive goals at Southport’s Haig Avenue, which ensured we made it two wins from two in the tournament.
The Reds started the game well, but didn’t manage to create a meaningful chance until the 12th minute, when Leah Galton latched onto a corner into the box and turned it goal-bound. However, it was well saved by Everton goalkeeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela.
Yet, the Toffees stopper stood no chance soon after, when James grabbed the opening goal of the match.
Casey Stoney’s side have been lauded throughout the Women’s game for our high-pressing style, and again it proved rewarding for United in the 22nd minute, when Kirsty Hanson won the ball high up the pitch and released James.
