The magnificent surroundings of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was a fitting venue for a clash between two huge clubs. The United No.7 had struggled for time on the ball all afternoon and saw her frustration get the better of her with just over ten minutes to play.

Seconds later Ella Toone was sent through after a rapid break down the right-wing, but could only hit the post.

That goal sparked plenty of noise from the home crowd but the celebrations didn’t last long. The North Londoners were not behind for long. Katie Zelem curled a free-kick narrowly wide before Alessia Russo went close with a shot on the turn. It was the visitors who again showed plenty of intent early in the second half and they were unlucky not to take the lead. The same player then thought that she had headed her side ahead moments later only to see her effort ruled out for offside. Ella Toone was sent-off for violent conduct late on but Spurs were unable to capitalise on their one-player advantage.

"Since I came [to Tottenham] we were always on a journey of building a team. We had two great transfers in the window that have helped us move forward. We couldn't get it over the line and we're disappointed with that. That's the Manchester United style," he added, before revealing plans to appeal Toone's dismissal. "To come back in this nature once we conceded, which was not good enough from us, it shows true character. The midfielder now faces a three-game suspension and will be absent for United's trip to title rivals Chelsea on March 12. "We're not here to bank up, we're here to attack.
