A second-half goal flurry for Manchester United against West Ham fired Marc Skinner's side to top of the Women’s Super League table as league leaders Chelsea lost to Manchester City over the weekend.
The spring slog has heated up a meaty title race in the WSL, and over the weekend it’s United who have emerged atop the pile heading into the last six league matches of the season courtesy of the victory on Saturday.
Despite what the scoreline suggests, this was no vintage United performance, and it was only through a second-half penalty by Katie Zelem that the deadlock was finally broken in United's favour. Hayley Ladd and a brace from Lucia Garcia eventually saw off a solid but limited West Ham and sent the nearly 28,000 inside Old Trafford into respective fits of paroxysms at the victory.
