Manchester United narrowly missed out on the Women's Super League title despite recording a final day victory over Liverpool at Prenton Park.
The Reds travelled to Merseyside off the back of last weekend's late Manchester derby win, knowing beating their famous rivals would only be enough to keep their title hopes alive should league leaders Chelsea slip up against bottom-of-the table Reading. Marc Skinner made just one change to the side that started against Manchester City, with Vilde Boe Risa coming in for Hayley Ladd.
The first real chance of the game fell to the hosts; the pacy Shanice van de Sanden rifling a dangerous ball across the face of goal that just evaded Taylor Hinds at the back post. United responded well, patiently working their way through the gears, with Nikita Parris forcing Rachael Laws into her first save of the day with a tame header from inside the six-yard box.
