Aston Villa booked their quarter-final spot in the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup with victory at Sheffield United.
GROUP A
Manchester United 4-2 Everton
Sheffield United 1-2 Aston Villa
Villa struck twice in a three-minute spell midway through the first half, as Kenza Dali set up Kirsty Hanson and netted the second herself. Mia Enderby got one back for the Blades with an 80th-minute penalty.
Manchester United did Villa a favour in defeating Everton, whom they led 4-0 inside the half-hour mark. Vilde Boe Risa scored twice, Rachel Williams and Jade Moore adding one each before second-half replies from Jess Park and Karen Holmgaard. Neither Manchester United nor Everton can now go through as best runners-up.
GROUP B
Liverpool 0-2 Manchester City
Manchester City won away to Liverpool to make it nine straight wins in all competitions. The result also put City top of the group and highly likely to progress to the last eight, while Liverpool must wait on results elsewhere. Filippa Angeldahl made the breakthrough close to the hour mark, before Lauren Hemp came off the bench to set up Mary Fowler to double the lead.
Fixture for Thursday 8 December
GROUP B: Sunderland v Leicester City (Eppleton Colliery Ground, 7.30pm)
