Manchester United Women drew 2-2 with the Seagulls and, despite being disappointed with the result overall, Skinner was quick to praise Reds midfielder Toone after the match's conclusion.
When United trailed 1-0, the England international picked the ball up on the edge of the box and fired an effort into the top corner, giving former Reds goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley no chance.
In his post-match interview, Skinner was keen to point out that Toone's quality should never have been doubted, after our no.7 notched for the first time in the WSL this term.
"Ella is a key player for us regardless but I think Tooney needs to be in those positions more," said Marc to MUTV.
