Manchester United took charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, earning themselves three points and retaking the Women’s Super League top spot in their 2-1 win over ninth-place Spurs.
The second half saw all the action as Ella Toone was shown a straight red card for reacting to a leg-locking challenge from Eveliina Summanen with 10 minutes left on the clock holding onto their two-goals-to-one-lead.
Despite being in control of the majority of the game, it took 67 minutes for United to break stalemate when Ona Batlle delivered a cross from the right flank that was met by a composed Leah Galton who hit the back of the net from close range, her fifth goal of the campaign.
