United Women hit four in first friendly

Casey Stoney's side ran out 4-0 victors at Leigh Sports Village after Ella Toone opened the scoring in only the fourth minute.

Leah Galton and Kirsty Hanson forced saves out of Scotland international goalkeeper Lee Alexander as the visitors remained in contention up to the half-time interval, in a game in which new signings Ona Batlle and Ivana Fuso appeared.

After Stoney made seven changes at the break, one of the substitutes, Jess Sigsworth, had a header cleared off the line within the first five minutes of the restart.

Our no.9 also headed against the bar before she finally doubled the lead with 17 minutes remaining.
