For their first Women’s Super League fixture of the calendar year, Manchester United thrashed Liverpool 6-0. Six goals from six different players demonstrated the depth of Mark Skinner's squad as they end the day one step closer to the summit in the title race.
United leapfrogged Arsenal into second with both teams on 25 points from 10 played but the ‘embarrassing’ score-line has put United a step ahead with a four-goal advantage that pushes the Gunners into third.
Goals came from Lucia Garcia promptly after kick-off, before Alessia Russo and Hayley Ladd sealed a three-goal lead into halftime. Millie Turner, Martha Thomas and Rachel Williams capped the game off with five minutes left on the clock.
