Galton

Villa's evening got worse when Leah Galton added a fourth goal, and though substitute Ebony Salmon provided a threat, it was too late to make a dent.

But it is safe to say their attacking impact has certainly been dampened by Batlle's exit, as well as Leah Galton's limited availability this season.

Any concerns that Manchester United may have lacked firepower in the absence of Brazilian playmaker Geyse and winger Leah Galton through illness were quickly laid to rest on Sunday.

There will be some gripes at the disallowing of Galton's goal, with her push on Hunt far from severe, but they had plenty of further chances to take the tie all the way.

As the first half wore on, they began to settle and United had a few glimpses of hope when Lucia Garcia and Galton won possession high in the opposition half - though neither could capitalise.
