Arnot kicks off new era in style
CASEY STONEY was delighted with the character shown by her players as Manchester United beat Liverpool 1-0 in their first outing as a professional women’s team. Lizzie Arnot scored the only goal as United progressed in the Continental Tyres Cup — it was the club’s first competitive match in women’s football for 13 years. Manager Stoney said: ‘These girls have put an absolute shift in for six weeks, they have been thrown together, completely new at a new club with new processes, and to go out there and dig deep at times and show a bit of character was really pleasing.’ ENGLAND women will attempt to reach their first Under 20 World Cup final when they meet Japan in today’s semi-final in Vannes, France.
