The forward had barely touched the ball when she scored to make it 4-3 in the 111th minute and United held on to becoming history makers. “First Maidenhead team in 137 years in the hat for the FA Cup second round.”The Magpies were also very complimentary about their hosts Sutton, posting: “Only one team can get through in a cup tie, but Sutton United Women, you were brilliant and a credit to your club.
