Manchester United slip from WSL top spot after struggle vs Everton

As they marked the 65th anniversary of the Munich Disaster, Manchester United Women relinquished top spot in the WSL after being held to a goalless draw against Everton. The hosts were in control of the game throughout but struggled early under the Toffees' high press, succumbing to several counterattacks as the visitors were quick off the mark.

Despite enjoying the majority of the ball and strong performances from Marc Skinner’s side, they struggled for quality in the final third, unable to break through the wall of blue shirts blocking their attacks.

Ella Toone hit the upright, Alessia Russo couldn't get her toe to a loose ball at close range, Lucia Garcia hit the crossbar, Ona Batlle’s long-range attempts were a touch too high and Katie Zelem's efforts were palmed away by goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan.
