Former Maidstone schoolgirl Alessia Russo scored twice at Old Trafford as Manchester United beat Everton in the Women's Super League.

The England international forward, who went to St Simon Stock School, scored a header in each half as United came from a goal down to win 3-1 in front of more than 20,000 fans.

Russo, United's leading scorer this season, took her league tally to nine and was named player-of-the-match.

"What a day," Russo, 23, told Sky Sports. "Three points was on the agenda and I think doing that was amazing, and then obviously the two headers were a bonus.

"To be able to play in front of all our friends and family today was really special."
