In what was a chaotic encounter in Manchester, Toone stole the show as she took advantage of individual errors amid frantic defending from Gareth Taylor's side on Sunday. 

Toone put United바카라 웹사이트ahead in the 14th minute when바카라 웹사이트Elisabeth Terland's attempted shot fell kindly into her path before delicately lifting the ball over the on-rushing바카라 웹사이트Khiara Keating.바카라 웹사이트

The Red Devils doubled their advantage seven minutes later when Toone's corner was not dealt with, allowing바카라 웹사이트Leah Galton to swivel and strike the ball home from close range.바카라 웹사이트

United continued to dominate proceedings and were rewarded nine minutes before the break when바카라 웹사이트Leila Ouahabi was sold short by바카라 웹사이트Keating, with Toone on hand to pounce.

But the Citizens responded shortly after with two goals in eight minutes to end the half, the first coming from바카라 웹사이트Vivianne Miedema, who planted Mary Fowler's cross into the net.바카라 웹사이트

Fowler was the provider once again in first-half stoppage time, sending in a corner which was met powerfully by new arrival바카라 웹사이트Rebecca Knaak to get the hosts back into the contest.바카라 웹사이트

However, straight from City's kick-off after the break, Keating made another mistake when she smashed바카라 웹사이트the ball against Terland, allowing Toone to race through and complete her hat-trick.바카라 웹사이트

Just one point separated the sides before kick-off, but United have now leapfrogged City into third place in the WSL table, and are now seven points adrift of바카라 웹사이트leaders Chelsea.
