Manchester United: Ella Toone's near-perfect performance against Brighton

Manchester United are flying high in the Women’s Super League with three victories from as many matches.

They currently sit top of the table on goal difference, level on points with Arsenal and Chelsea, although the Blues have played one game more.

Fans of the Red Devils will be hoping to see their team finally qualify for the Champions League, and if they are to do so, players such as Ella Toone, Alessia Russo and Leah Galton will all be crucial.

Toone was exceptional during Manchester United’s 4-0 victory against Brighton yesterday, continuing her brilliant form from Euro 2022.

In fact, she was given a FotMob rating of 9.3, the highest of any player on the pitch. GiveMeSport Women takes a look at Toone’s performance in full.

The 23-year-old Toone was particularly lethal in the first half of the match, scoring twice.

Her first goal was a carefully guided header into the bottom corner, while her second was a coolly-taken shot in the penalty box.

Toone wasn’t just scoring, though. She also set up Manchester United’s third goal, slipping through an inch-perfect pass to put Leah Galton in a one on one situation with the goalkeeper.

A perfectly weighted pass from @leah_galton21 and the calmest of finishes from @ellatoone99!
