Manchester City suffered their first loss to United at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday.
Filippa Angeldahl thought she had rescued a point for the visitors after United’s Hayley Ladd gave the home side the lead within two minutes. However, Lucia Garcia nudged the ball beyond Khiara Keating in added time to give United the lead once again as City fought back with ten players.
Ellie Roebuck was sent off just before the break in a last-ditch effort to deny Nikita Parris a run on goal.
