Man Utd 2-0 Everton: United close in on Champions League
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.

What the managers said: Man Utd 2-0 Everton
Dominique Janssen and Grace Clinton scored as Manchester United moved closer to qualifying for next season's Champions League with a routine 2-0 win against Everton. Here is what the managers said after the game:Man Utd manager Marc Skinner speaking to BBC Sport: "I thought we were excellent. We reduced Everton to three shots and one on target and with that it gives you control of the game. It was a really dominant performance."We want as many wins as possible and we have to take it in our stride. They are all going to be difficult but we have to do us. We're going to have to make sure we push it hard and have no regrets."We wanted to take the game to Everton and we know that if we win the ball off them, we can transition quickly. As a collective there was so much hard work. That should send shockwaves to the rest of the teams that we play."Everton manager Brian Sorensen speaking to BBC Sport: "We need to get something more from that first half and Courtney Brosnan has been excellent all season but it is a little error. Those fine margins need to drop on our side. It wasn't our day and there are positives to take forward."There is still stuff we know we can be better at. Late on, they figured it out and caused us more trouble. They were the better team on the day but there are margins and we know we can do better in those parts."How do you close the gap to the top teams? "More money into it if we want to close the gap and we know we have to get everything right, that's for sure."
