"By the 60-minute mark at Leigh Sports Village, Manchester United were staring down the barrel of what would have been an historic Women's Super League victory for Tottenham Hotspur. The visitors led 3-0 and had been ruthlessly efficient, delivering a clinical display in front of goal, with three of their four shots on target finding the net. Tottenham had also succeeded in frustrating United defensively. By half-time, United had already attempted 15 shots -- slightly above their 90-minute Women's Super League (WSL) season average of 14.5 -- as they struggled to convert their pressure into goals."
"But complexion of the game shifted dramatically in the second half after Fridolina Rolfö was introduced. The 32-year-old's impact was immediate and decisive and, after Ella Toone pulled one back in the 74th minute, Rolfö almost single-handedly dragged United back into the contest, scoring twice to complete the comeback and save a 3-3 draw -- with her equalizer coming right at the death."
