Ella Toone, United's creative catalyst, was predictably involved in the opener, pulling the strings centrally to release Batlle whose cross was attacked by Russo. Zelem bided her time at the back post with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton making a mess of an attempted clearance, allowing the midfielder - born and bred in Manchester - to lash the ball into the net. Galton then sliced through the heart of the Villa defence 15 minutes later, collecting a perfectly weighted Toone pass and dispatching expertly with the outside of her boot. Precision football played at a devastatingly quick pace.
Everton’s pragmatism forced upon themThey had a real go late on and almost snatched a point and you can’t fault the effort of this Everton side. But key injuries in defense and attack have once again forced them to play a more defensive formation. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin out injured and Richarlison sold this summer, they don’t have a focal point up top. Lampard has been forced to be more pragmatic but there was enough from Everton to suggest when they finally have a center forward available, they will win plenty of games. That said, they have lost their opening two PL games for the first time in 13 seasons and there is no more pressure on Everton to buy a new striker. This is a huge season for Gerrard, LampardIt was only Week 2 but the passion on the sidelines showed us just how big of a season this is for the former England teammates and friends. Gerrard got the better of Lampard this time and his Villa side did just deserve the win.

Until Ings’ quality arrived. In and around the box they struggled to carve out big chances but they did look very good on the break and when they got the ball forward quickly and with purpose. For both goals there was composure at the key moment and that is exactly what Gerrard called for.
"She only scores bangers, " former Ireland international Emma Byrne eulogised on Sky Sports' live coverage.
