It took 81 minutes but Manchester City forward Caroline Weir made sure it was worth the wait when she unleashed another trademark virtuoso strike to settle the Manchester derby on Sunday.
City and United met in the Women’s Super League with the former coming out on top 1-0 thanks to Weir’s delightful long-range lob, moving them up into fifth place, two points behind United and firmly in the chase for Champions League qualification.
The decisive goal came late on when Weir, who had only just come off the bench five minutes beforehand, chipped United goalkeeper Mary Earps with a superb effort from outside the box.
Hands up if you still can’t believe this happened 😅@itscarolineweir just LOVES a #ManchesterDerby chip 🍟
