Women's Continental League Cup: Man Utd advance to knockout stage with win over Everton

Manchester United beat Everton 2-0 as Marc Skinner's side advanced to the knockout stages of the Women's Continental League Cup.

An own goal from Everton's Danielle Turner put United ahead, before Martha Thomas netted to seal the win.

Following the final group-stage games, seven out of eight quarter-final places have been confirmed with Leicester v Manchester City still to be played.

Last year's finalists Bristol City needed penalties to overcome Crystal Palace and progress to the last eight. Championship Lewes defeated Super League side Reading on penalties in Group D after a 2-2 draw.

In Group C, Tottenham scored a last-minute winner to overcome Championship strugglers Coventry United, while fellow strugglers Watford suffered a 5-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic.
