United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea Women in the final of this competition last term but exacted revengꦓe after Lucia Garcia scored twice in a comfortable win on Sunday.
Ella Toone's eye-ca♔tching strike in the fi👍rst half set the tone before a goal for Rachel Williams and Garcia's double added gloss to a convincing scoreline, despite Beth England hitting the crossbar for Spurs.
Marc Skinner's s🥃ide dominated the opening half as Millie Turner saw a header cleared off the line by Martha Thomas, while Williams headed over.
However, there was no stopping Toone on the stroke of half-time as she exchanged passes with Lisa Naalsund 🍷before arrowing a rocketed right-foote♉d finish into the top corner from the edge of the area.
Further punishment followed for an underwhelming Tottenꦚham after the interval when Williams headed down from Katie Zelem's free-kick to double United's lead in the 54th minute.
Goalkeeper&nb❀sp;Becky Spencer then handed Skinner's te🌟am more joy just three minutes later, mindlessly playing straight to Garcia, who slotted into an empty net.
Garcia capped the scoring after 74 minutes, receiving an offload from Turner before curling a delightful finish past the powerless Spencer as United secured their first major tro𝕴phy in club history.
Data Debrief: United Ease Pain Of Last Year
