Ella Toone Scores Hat-Trick as Manchester United Defeat City in WSL Derby

Manchester United secure their first away win over Manchester City in the WSL, capitalizing on defensive errors to climb to third in the table.

Ella Toone scored her first Manchester derby hat-trick, including a goal nine seconds into the second half, as United won 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City goalkeeper Khiara Keating made multiple costly errors, including a poor clearance that led to Toone's third goal, overshadowing her potential as a rising talent.
United's high pressing and clinical finishing exploited City's weakened squad, which was missing key players such as Alex Greenwood, Lauren Hemp, and Khadija Shaw due to injuries.
Goals from Vivianne Miedema and debutant Rebecca Knaak briefly brought City back into the game before another defensive lapse sealed their third defeat in four WSL matches.
The victory moves Manchester United above City to third place in the league standings, tightening the race for Champions League qualification.
