Terland hat-trick fires United into main draw for first time

Manchester United reached the main draw of the Women's Champions League for the first time after an Elisabeth Terland hat-trick helped them overturn a first-leg deficit to deservedly eliminate the Norwegian side Brann in the third qualifying round.

Terland netted a so-called perfect hat-trick, scoring with her right foot after earlier doing so with her left and nodding in a header, to ensure Marc Skinner’s team will be included in today’s draw for the new, 18-team league phase of the competition, along with Chelsea and the holders Arsenal. It was Terland’s second hat-trick in this competition already this term after four European qualifying fixtures, the forward having also scored a treble against PSV in August.
