A screamer from Tobin Heath helped the leaders United recover from a first-half hammering to earn a point in a pulsating Manchester derby
And here’s the City manager Gareth Taylor
“We’re a bit disappointed. We were so in control in the first half, we absolutely bossed the game and could have been three or four ahead. We didn’t implement our game enough in the second period. They scored a goal from nothing and they looked dangerous from set-plays. It feels like two points dropped, especially with the position we were in.
Here’s the extremely impressive Casey Stoney “I take full responsibility for the first half – I think I got the press wrong. I had to change that and make sure we pressed differently because they were picking us off. The players were incredible. I said to them just now that I’m more proud of them today than I was last week because of the mentality shift – last year we might have folded at 2-0 down. In the end we were unfortunate not to win it.
“Kirsty Hanson was brilliant. That’s why we call our substitutes ‘gamechangers’ – whether they come in to make us solid or give the opposition more problems, time and again they come on and change the game. What a finish from Tobin Heath – it’s world class and that’s why we sign these players. No keeper will save that.”
