Manchester United Women put to test against underdog in FA Cup but they make it through to semi-finals
19.03.2023 - 18:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United Women are through the semi-finals of the Women's FA Cup after knocking out lowest-ranked side Lewes with a 3-1 win.
United had an early scare in the opening six minutes as Lewes had the first chances of the game - but some excellent defending from Thorisdottir kept the underdogs from getting on the scoresheet first.
It was a lively atmosphere at a sold-out Dripping Pan, with the Lewes band playing non-stop, with the Match of the Day tune, but it wasn't going to deter United as Lewes put up a fight to keep them out from goal as much as possible in the first half.
Lewes were punished in the next few moments however as Russo put United ahead in the eighth minute on her 50th appearance for the Reds - but unfortunately, it was later credited to Cleverly as an own goal.
The first United goal put them in good stead to continue with possession in the first half with Mary Earps barely seeing any sight of the ball.
Lisa Naalsund's first start for United ended in heartbreak after her appearance was cut short at 25 minutes coming off due to injury.
Going in at half-time, United were left frustrated by Lewes who did well to not give them a chance at playing how they normally like to, and leaving the Reds' centre defenders to take shots from a distance.
Skinner's second-half substitution in Ella Toone saw his side begin to create a few more spaces, and Batlle creating some excellent chances, which paid off for her to set up Boe Risa scoring United's second.
Just 15 minutes before full-time, Lewes pulled one back through a lovely dink over Earps's head - which knowing her, she still won't be happy about letting in.
Another injury setback for United saw Thorisdottir go off in the second half, visibly upset with her
