Emily Murphy nets last-gasp winner as Ireland fight back to beat Turkey
Substitute Emily Murphy's first senior international goal handed Ireland a 2-1 comeback victory in Turkey to secure second spot in Nations League Group B2. Murphy's 89th-minute winner, which came after Busem Seker's own goal had cancelled out Kader Hancar's opener at the Esenler Stadium sent Ireland into Tuesday night's home clash with group leaders Slovenia just three points adrift. Advertisement After a bright start by Ireland, it was the hosts who mustered the first attempt on goal with 11 minutes gone when central defender Sejde Abrahamsson surged upfield and tested keeper Courtney Brosnan from a tight angle. Lucy Quinn forced a first save of the game from Selda Akgoz with a dipping long-range effort, but the game burst into life as the half-time whistle approached, Brosnan saving from Miray Cin before Akgoz had to be at her best to keep out Katie McCabe's curled attempt with Arsenal's Champions League winner seeing her half-volley from the resulting corner blocked on the line. However, it was Turkey who took the lead three minutes after the restart when Hancar turned the ball into Ilayda Civelek's run and then surged into the box to convert her cross. The visitors were level with 10 minutes remaining when Seker headed a Megan Campbell long throw into her own goal, and they won it at the death, Murphy pouncing on Abrahamsson's slip to snatch the points.

Two more wins are all Manchester United need to secure a top-three finish in the Women's Super League and a return to the Champions Skinner's side weren't at their best against Everton on Sunday - Everton had the better of the early stages - but they didn't need to be to maintain the seven-point gap between themselves and fourth-place Manchester home side were fortunate that Courtney Brosnan spilled a cross at the feet of Dominique Janssen to tap home, but there was nothing lucky about Grace Clinton's clever flicked finish shortly after picked up by Celin Bizet and Leah Galton took some of the shine off a routine afternoon, but United will go into their FA Cup semi-final clash with City off the back of eight wins in their last nine 14 more points than they had at this stage last season, it's been an impressive season for a team many suggested would struggle following high profile exits last summer. Returning to Europe and qualifying for the group stages for the first time would be just reward.

Republic of Ireland beaten by Slovenia in Nations League
Republic of Ireland went down to a 4-0 defeat by a clinical Slovenia side in their second Uefa Nations League game. The hosts led 3-0 at the break thanks to ruthless finishing as they cut through the Irish defence and capitalised on their chances. Slovenia struck after just three minutes with Lara Prasnikar firing past Courtney Brosnan and into the top corner. The striker flicked in at the near-post to double the lead before Zara Kamsar added the third with a close-range finish. The visitors dominated the second half but failed to find the net again until substitute Nina Kajzba blasted home after 82 minutes in a rare Slovenia attack. Denise O'Sullivan went closest for the Irish by hitting the crossbar a minute later on what was a frustrating night for the team. Carla Ward started her reign as Republic of Ireland manager with a win over Turkey on Friday night but she have much to ponder after this disappointing performance. More to follow
