Manchester United reached the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals for the first time after easing past Atletico Madrid with a 2-0 second leg win to progress 5-0 on aggregate.
United, who have now won eight games in a row in all competitions, face Bayern Munich in the next round after brushing Atletico aside with a ruthless performance at Leigh Sports Village.
Jess Park's dipping long-range strike just before the break put the tie beyond doubt after Julia Zigiotti Olme's 28th-minute opener had punished Atletico's early profligacy.
Trailing 3-0 on aggregate after the first leg, Atletico made a fast start and should have pulled a goal back early on but central defender Lauren headed over from point-blank range in the first of many missed chances.
Frustration told late on for Atletico as Xenia Perez was sent off after receiving two bookings in 10 minutes.
Marc Skinner's side, without a number of key players due to injury and illness, march into the quarter-finals and face the German champions over two legs on March 24/25 and April 1/2.
More to follow.
