Manchester United had of possession but it was Chelsea who would come out on top in a narrow 1-0 victory in the WSL on Sunday.
Sam Kerr got the better of the United backline in the 23rd minute when Lauren James' long ball dipped into her path perfectly before she lobbed goalkeeper Mary Earps.
The goal did not impact United's control of the game's tempo, nor did it hamper their motivation to push forward. Skinner said: “We’ve dominated, we’ve tried to progress. We’ve come to the champions' home ground and put our stamp on it.”
