Manchester Derby: Ella Toone dedicates hat-trick to late father

Ella Toone celebrated a remarkable Manchester derby victory, dedicating her stunning hat-trick against Manchester City to her late father. 

The English midfielder delivered an exceptional performance on Sunday, netting three goals to lead Manchester United to a commanding 4-2 win over rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. 

This crucial victory propelled the Red Devils to third place in the Women’s Super League, overtaking City in the standings.

Following the impressive derby triumph, Toone shared her joy on Instagram by posting match photographs and captioned them, “Manny derby win. 0161 is red!”

The Lionesses star dedicated her remarkable hat-trick to her late father, Nick Toone, who tragically passed away at the age of 59 in September 2024. 

In a heartfelt gesture, Toone shared an image on her Instagram story of the match ball and her Player of the Match trophy placed on a photograph of her father, writing, “Always for you Big T.”

Mark Skinner’s team will return to action on Wednesday, facing Manchester City once again in the Women’s League Cup quarter-final.
