Marc Skinner still positive after Man Utd slip-up in WSL title race with Russo off target

Man Utd slipped up to allow Chelsea to move top of the table in the WSL after a 0-0 stalemate with Everton.

The hosts were top on goal difference at the start of the day but were guilty of missing chances against a resilient Toffees side which, coupled with Chelsea's win at Tottenham, left than two points adrift of the WSL holders. Alessia Russo started for the first time since she was the subject of interest from title rivals Arsenal on transfer deadline day, but was unable to find the breakthrough.

Despite the slip-up manager Marc Skinner said there will still plenty of positives for his team to take and that there will be more twists to come throughout the season. The United boss also had no issues with Russo's performance and says the England forward is fully focused ahead of the remainder of the campaign.
